Rina was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Pune Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Rina is 56, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Pune 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,700 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $180 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mohammad
