Help Yaowalak through 6 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

Supporting Yaowalak through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Bang Khen Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Bang Khen
Yaowalak was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in April. The oncology team at the Bang Khen Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Yaowalak is 25, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 the Bang Khen 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,950 goes: • Transport to the Bang Khen Oncology Institute: $260 • Household costs while unable to work: $640 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 I hope life is good to you. - Kamol

                Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

                    You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
