Fighting kidney cancer: help Thiện afford treatment in Hồ Chí Minh City

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Hồ Chí Minh City
Thiện was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Thiện is 40, worked as a nurse 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 the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $750 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Transport to the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute: $100 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Great help in a difficult time

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    Would recommend to anyone

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
