Help Lin through 6 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Supporting Lin through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Auckland Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,407 views
Lin was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at the Auckland Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Lin is 52, worked as a bakery worker 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 Auckland 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Transport to the Auckland Oncology Institute: $1,100
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,000
• Scans and lab work: $520
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330
Thanks for reading all this.

Is transport to the Auckland Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. transport to the Auckland Oncology Institute is the big one at $1,100, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 7 people at work. Thinking of Auckland.
Keep going, Yu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hang in there, Yu. Hope the doctors have good news
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Rooting for you, Yu. Get well soon. We're a small family in Bogotá but we're thinking of you
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. After 30 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Wishing Lin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 27 people at work. All the best.
Sending strength, Yu. I hope things turn around soon.
