Gwangju
Sang-hoon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at Gwangju University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Sang-hoon is 57, worked as a primary school teacher until May, 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 Gwangju University Hospital 4 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,600 • Scans and lab work: $500 • Transport to Gwangju University Hospital: $490 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,400 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Young-ho

  • you're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 5 people at work

    • Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Gwangju.

      • thinking of you, Young-ho. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page.

        • Wishing you the best, Young-ho. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nîmes
