Standing with Purvi: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Purvi through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Chennai University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India1,361 views
In July I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Chennai University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a tailor until July, 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 Chennai University Hospital 3 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 $1,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $490
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Chennai University Hospital: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $315
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

how is Purvi doing now?
Rooting for you, Purvi. Shared this with my family.
Wishing you the best, Purvi. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal.
