Standing with Nilesh: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Nashik Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

In August I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Nashik Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 35, I worked as a hairdresser until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Nashik Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $810
• Household costs while unable to work: $255
Thanks for being kind about this.
