Fighting colon cancer: help Ji-ho afford treatment in Gwangju
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Gwangju Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Updates from Young-ho
Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,693 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $2,643 so far, I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 30% funded and the first invoice got paid this week.

Best of luck, Young-ho. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Santos donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Santos
best of luck, Young-ho. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours!
Good luck, Young-ho. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Good luck, Young-ho. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in București this morning!
