Seo-yeon's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Seo-yeon is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇰🇷 Gyeonggi, South Korea1,416 views
Seo-yeon was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in October. The oncology team at the Suwon Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Seo-yeon is 56, worked as a tailor until October, 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 Suwon 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $5,100 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,350
• Transport to the Suwon Oncology Institute: $370
Thanks for being kind about this.

how is Seo-yeon doing now?
Hope you get there. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hang in there, Yoon-ah. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Petrópolis.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Seo-yeon?
Thank you. If you're in Suwon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thinking of you and your family, Yoon-ah. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Pune.
Sending strength, Yoon-ah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Bhopal.
hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Yoon-ah. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Rooting for you, Yoon-ah. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 40 people at work. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Yoon-ah. Wishing Seo-yeon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
you're not alone, Yoon-ah. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Suwon.
