Mantena's Cancer Treatment Fund
Donation protected
My sweetest and kindest childhood friend and friend for life, Vijay Rama Raju Mantena's (aka Rambabu) father Mr. Seeta Rama Raju Mantena (Uncle) has a form of cancer (Recurrent Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Sphenoid Sinus)
that is treatable only in the USA. All the other medical options in India have been exhausted.
Rambabu currently lives with his family (wife and 2 sons) in Princeton, NJ. His parents are Indian Citizens, and are now in the US and went through diagnosis and consultations with doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Doctors recommended "Proton Treatment" to remove the cancer and gave 100% probability of full containment (barring few side effects). Since, there is no insurance, Rambabu has been asked to put in a deposit of $120K to begin treatments
at ProCure Proton Therapy Center in NJ. This is just for treatment, and additional expenses are expected from hospital, doctors, and for medications.
To give you all some background, Rambabu is one of those rare extremely kind and generous person. I knew him since my second grade and were classmates thru 12th grade, and stayed thick friends ever since. He is always the first person to jump in and help in any way he can with absolutely no hesitation. Back when i was in 9th grade, I forgot to bring my homework to school, and the teacher was about to kick me out of class, and Rambabu took the blame up on himself saying he borrowed my homework and forgot at home - and he got kicked out of class instead. This may sound like a silly incident, but simply goes to show his big heart. He doesn't think or pause to provide help - he just jumps in with head first - that's his DNA. All my classmates and others who know him can attest his sweet nature.
I request you all to help in any way you can at this testing times for Rambabu to provide him with necessary financial liquidity to pay for the treatment, and keep his dad in your thoughts and prayers for a successful treatment and quick recovery.
There is no contribution big or small. Sometimes, the best contribution anyone can make is help spread the message to reach more donors.
Let's join hands to raise funds.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support.
