Ravi was diagnosed with stomach cancer in December. The oncology team at Jaipur Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Ravi is 27, worked as a taxi driver until December, 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 Jaipur Regional Medical Center 4 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 $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $600 • Scans and lab work: $150 • Transport to Jaipur Regional Medical Center: $145 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $165 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Varsha

  1. Update from Jaipur: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($348 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
