Gangnam
Jun-seo was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Gangnam Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Jun-seo is 30, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Gangnam Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $4,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,200 • Transport to Gangnam Regional Medical Center: $410 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410 • Household costs while unable to work: $480 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Jin-ah

Updates from Jin-ah

  1. We're at 0% thanks to 1 of you. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($86 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Gangnam: I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
