Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help In-ho afford treatment in Incheon
Supporting In-ho through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Incheon Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇰🇷 21054, Incheon, Incheon, South Korea1,282 views
In-ho was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at the Incheon Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
In-ho is 36, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 the Incheon Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,850 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $530
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500
• Household costs while unable to work: $820
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Jung-hee

Hang in there, Jung-hee. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Jung-hee. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
sending good thoughts, Jung-hee. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
