Ramesh Punna Cancer Fund and Family Fund

Introduction
Ramesh Punna is a resident of San Antonio, TX.  He lives there with his wife, Sridevi, and teenage daughter, Amrutha.  Ramesh works for the US Air Force (as a contractor), and Sridevi works for US Veteran Affairs.

Since mid 2018, Ramesh has had a series of medical issues.  After several misdiagnoses, on Christmas Eve of 2018, Ramesh has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer stage 4 -- an advanced stage with no cure.  Cancer has spread to Ramesh's lungs, liver and stomach.  Ramesh has numerous symptoms currently such as difficulty breathing, depression, anxiety, physical disability, throat pain, swollen legs, loss of taste and appetite, and urinary issues, among others.

Treatment
In January 2019, Ramesh received Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital in Houston, TX.  Chemotherapy resulted in significant side effects, which made his doctors declare that they cannot administer Chemotherapy anymore.

Ramesh's lungs fill up with fluid every few days and disable his lungs breathing functions.  The doctors installed tubes in each of his lungs that exit his skin on his back in order to drain the fluid from the lungs regularly.

Campaign Funds
Ramesh is currently on short-term disability, while his wife, Sridevi, is on unpaid leave for the most part.  Sridevi can only work approximately 2 days a week since she has to provide care to her husband.  The funds raised from this campaign will be used for the medical treatment of Ramesh and for supporting his family.
