4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Tallahassee Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Yong-jun was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Tallahassee Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Yong-jun is 25, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Tallahassee Oncology Institute 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 $8,100 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $810 • Scans and lab work: $920 • Transport to the Tallahassee Oncology Institute: $600 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,770 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Thinking of you, Yoon-ah. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Tallahassee.

    • Wishing you peace, Yoon-ah. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
