Help Byung-hun through 8 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer

Byung-hun is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Byung-hun was diagnosed with cervical cancer in May. The oncology team at the Busan Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Byung-hun is 50, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Busan 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 $2,550 goes: • Transport to the Busan Oncology Institute: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $670 • Scans and lab work: $1,140 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Seung-hyun

    So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Essen so I could bring a meal. Love from Tokyo

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Byung-hun?
