Viral's colon cancer treatment fund
Viral is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,615 views
Viral was diagnosed with colon cancer in November. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Viral is 30, worked as a bakery worker until November, 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 University Hospital 3 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 $1,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Transport to Mumbai University Hospital: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
Thank you so much.
