Help Sasithorn through 8 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Chiang Mai University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Sasithorn was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at Chiang Mai University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Sasithorn is 57, worked as a nurse until March, 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 Chiang Mai University Hospital 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,050
• Scans and lab work: $185
• Transport to Chiang Mai University Hospital: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $160
• Household costs while unable to work: $265
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
