Fighting stomach cancer: help Chai afford treatment in Chiang Mai

Supporting Chai through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Chiang Mai Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.

Chiang Mai
Chai was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Chiang Mai Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Chai is 41, worked as a nurse 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 Chiang Mai Regional Medical Center 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 $2,850 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $500 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950 • Transport to Chiang Mai Regional Medical Center: $180 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ploy

Updates from Ploy

  1. We're at 17% thanks to 15 of you. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($350 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $285 raised so far (10%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

        keep going, Ploy. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
