Standing with Pavithra: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

Pavithra is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Prayagraj
Pavithra was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at Prayagraj Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Pavithra is 45, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Prayagraj 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 $1,400 goes: • Scans and lab work: $175 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Ravi

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($18 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 1% there. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
