Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Kun afford treatment in Riverside
Kun is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Riverside, California, United States1,701 views
Kun was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Riverside Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Kun is 29, worked as a bus conductor 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 Riverside Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Transport to Riverside Cancer Centre: $990
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,270
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
