Help Jung-ho through 6 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Daegu Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jung-ho was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Daegu Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Jung-ho is 39, worked as a shop owner 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 Daegu Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,250 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $610
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,950
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540
Thanks for being kind about this.

thinking of you and your family, Chae-won. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Cardiff
