Standing with Manasi: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Manasi is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Manasi was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in September. The oncology team at Coimbatore Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Manasi is 25, worked as a taxi driver until September, 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 Coimbatore Cancer Centre 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $520 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $265 Thank you for reading my story. - Rohan
