Mapo
Hae-won was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Mapo Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Hae-won is 50, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Mapo Regional Medical Center 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $5,850 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to Mapo Regional Medical Center: $340 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hae-won

    • Sure. The biggest one is scans and lab work, $1,150. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • wishing you the best, Byung-hun. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Mapo.

    • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mapo!

      • Thank you. If you're in Mapo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

    • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from New Delhi

      • Stay strong, Byung-hun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        • Hope it all works out, Byung-hun. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 11 people at work. Blessings.

          • Thanks for sharing this, Byung-hun. Get well soon. Greetings from Kampala
