Hằng's a rare sarcoma treatment fund

Hằng is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Hằng was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in September. The oncology team at Sydney Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Hằng is 29, worked as a construction supervisor until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Sydney 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $730 • Transport to Sydney Cancer Centre: $520 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Long

    Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Sydney.

    • Mutua Kevin NakamyaQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hằng.

      • Long Khang QuachOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $5,750. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

    • Kumar N. Vaidyanathan

      Hope it all works out, Long. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless

      • Deepak B. PatelQuestion

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hằng?

        • Long Khang QuachOwnerAnswer

          Thank you. If you're in Sydney I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

      • Isabela Ingrid Moura

        Good luck. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours

        • Andrea K. Carrillo

          Praying for you, Long. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

          • Lia Rani Salim

            stay strong, Long. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ogbomosho.

            • Daniel Bello Akinwale

              Wishing you peace, Long. Wishing Hằng a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 19 people at work. Thinking of Sydney.

              • Sheila W. Zamora

                Best of luck, Long. Get well soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out!
