Standing with Min-jun: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Min-jun is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇰🇷 Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea6,699 views
Min-jun was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at Gangnam University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Min-jun is 52, worked as a tailor until March, 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 Gangnam University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200
• Scans and lab work: $580
• Transport to Gangnam University Hospital: $500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,090
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($4,828 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Gangnam: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 40% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
