Help Hang through 4 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Supporting Hang through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Toronto Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world4,926 views
Hang was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Toronto Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Hang is 42, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Toronto 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $10,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Toronto Regional Medical Center: $650
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,040
Every share and every dollar helps.

how is Hang doing now?
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Toronto
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Tarkwa.
