Na-young's colon cancer treatment fund

Na-young is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Na-young was diagnosed with colon cancer in November. The oncology team at the Busan Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Na-young is 46, worked as a taxi driver until November, 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 Busan Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,200 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Min-ji
