Standing with Mohit: kidney cancer treatment costs

Supporting Mohit through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Varanasi Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Varanasi
Mohit was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Varanasi Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Mohit is 46, worked as a construction supervisor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Varanasi Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,850 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $310 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Scans and lab work: $175 Thank you so much. - Mukesh
