Eun-kyung's stomach cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Seoul Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇰🇷 South Korea4,600 views
Eun-kyung was diagnosed with stomach cancer in February. The oncology team at Seoul Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Eun-kyung is 42, worked as a primary school teacher until February, 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 Seoul Cancer Centre 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 $5,500 goes:
• Transport to Seoul Cancer Centre: $590
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
