Standing with Dae-hyun: stomach cancer treatment costs

Dae-hyun is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Dae-hyun was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at the Gwangju Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Dae-hyun is 45, worked as a bus conductor until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Gwangju 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,400 goes: • Transport to the Gwangju Oncology Institute: $370 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $440 Thanks for reading all this. - Jae-won

    Sending strength, Jae-won. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
