Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Thanaporn afford treatment in Bang Khen

Thanaporn is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Bang Khen
Thanaporn was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at the Bang Khen Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Thanaporn is 55, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 the Bang Khen Oncology Institute 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $280 • Transport to the Bang Khen Oncology Institute: $210 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $185 • Household costs while unable to work: $375 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Chai

Updates from Chai

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,443 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 21% thanks to 19 of you. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

    best of luck, Chai. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

      You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

        take care, Chai. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Port Harcourt.

          wishing you peace, Chai. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless!
