Roll for Jirayu Jaidee
Your support matters
On March 14th, my good friend Jirayu’s world was turned upside down. After a night of severe stomach pain, he received the shocking news in the ER that he has testicular cancer. Within days, he underwent an orchiectomy operation to remove the mass on his testicle. We hoped after he would be cancer-free. Devastatingly, the tests came back showing the cancer has spread, Jirayu was diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer. He will have a mediport installed and undergo aggressive chemotherapy for 84 days starting April 7th.
This is just the beginning of Jirayu's fight with this cancer, and he could really use the support.
Jirayu is 25 years old, from Thailand, and has lived in Brooklyn, NY since he moved with his family 12 years ago. Since then, he now lives alone in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. He is a recent graduate of FIT with a bachelor's degree in interior design as well as an associate's in fashion business management and just recently began his career as an interior designer with a large firm. Over the last year, Jirayu has been religiously training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Renzo Gracie Academy and is planning on competing and graduating to blue belt. Jirayu and I became good friends attending FIT together in 2019. He is funny, caring and a good friend to many.
This funding will help Jirayu eat healthy meals, uber to chemo and make his living environment comfortable while resting.
His expenses will go way beyond what his insurance will cover; in fact, he has already incurred $6,000 in medical bills that he will need to cover himself.
Your donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated as it will help reduce the burden of his medical expenses as well as support him in caring for himself as he has a long road to recovery ahead.
