Help Yuna through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

Yuna is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Yuna was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Setagaya Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Yuna is 57, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Setagaya Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $9,050 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $820 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $1,220 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Asuka

  • Praying for you, Asuka. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.

    • Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Quezon City

      • Hang in there, Asuka. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up

        • Wishing you the best, Asuka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Setagaya.
