Sumon was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in September. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Sumon is 39, worked as a shop owner until September, 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 Mumbai Regional Medical Center 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 $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $155 • Scans and lab work: $135 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Mitu

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($502 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($404). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 17% funded and the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.
