Tejaswini's stomach cancer treatment fund

Tejaswini is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Tejaswini was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. The oncology team at Nagpur University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Tejaswini is 29, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 Nagpur 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730 • Scans and lab work: $290 • Transport to Nagpur University Hospital: $80 Glad we found this place.
