Kim's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Kim through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Jacksonville University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 United States4,921 views
Kim was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Jacksonville University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Kim is 29, worked as a bus conductor 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 Jacksonville University Hospital 3 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 $13,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,500
• Transport to Jacksonville University Hospital: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $620
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,480
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Nagpur.
Hope things get better soon, Tâm. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Stay strong, Tâm. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Rooting for you, Tâm. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
You're not alone, Tâm. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Fort Worth
