Ashwini is a young trans person who moved to Davangere to find work and home.
A few months ago, she saw a doctor for persistent leg pain. Doctors found a mass in her leg, and a biopsy (which itself was difficult to arrange) revealed lymphatic cancer.
Ashwini is struggling with the difficult diagnosis, and already in INR 40,000 of medical debt. At the moment she is unable to work and is being primarily cared for by a close friend.

Ashwini is seeking INR 70,000 for 6 rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and associated tests. She will avail these at KIMS, a government hospital in Hubli. The first assessment/round is expected to cost INR 6,000, which is critical to be administered immediately. She has not received it despite getting diagnosed 3 months ago, due to not being able to make ends meet.
Medical care is already difficult to access in these uncertain times, and even more difficult in a transphobic society. Stand with Ashwini today and give what you can. Every bit counts.
