Fighting kidney cancer: help Nam afford treatment in Hồ Chí Minh City
Supporting Nam through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam2,940 views
Nam was diagnosed with kidney cancer in October. The oncology team at Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Nam is 38, worked as a shop owner until October, 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 Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre 5 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Transport to Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre: $125
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 7 people at work. Blessings
Wishing Nam a smooth procedure and a full recovery
how is Nam doing now?
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
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. All the best.
Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Is transport to Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is transport to Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre, $125. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Hồ Chí Minh City. I'll ask around and let you know!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nam?
Thank you. If you're in Hồ Chí Minh City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Love from Joliet
Take care, Khoa. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
you're not alone, Khoa. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
thinking of you, Khoa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in New Orleans donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Patna.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Greetings from São Paulo.
