Suresh was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Suresh is 55, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Los Angeles University Hospital 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,250 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $620 • Transport to Los Angeles University Hospital: $580 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Aarti
