Standing with Rin: kidney cancer treatment costs

Rin was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Shinjuku Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Rin is 29, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Shinjuku Cancer Centre 2 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 $6,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,950 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to Shinjuku Cancer Centre: $360 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260 • Household costs while unable to work: $780 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
