Saket
Mukesh was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in March. The oncology team at Saket Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Mukesh is 44, worked as a taxi driver until March, 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 Saket Cancer Centre 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Scans and lab work: $125 • Transport to Saket Cancer Centre: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $305 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Vikas
