Standing with Kalyani: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Bengaluru University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 India2,685 views
Kalyani was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Bengaluru University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Kalyani is 46, worked as a hairdresser until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Bengaluru University Hospital 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
• Transport to Bengaluru University Hospital: $140
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
