Raising Funds for Missionary Jeong Kim's Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Jeong Kim, a missionary who served in the Philippines since 2001, has been fighting lung cancer for this past year. By the time it was first discovered, the cancer had already spread all over her spine and her brain. She is experiencing a lot of pain and her bodily functions are declining very quickly and drastically. She recently had to change her chemo due to her developing drug tolerance to the previous one. We are hoping to raise funds for her medical expenses as most of her new treatment is not covered by insurance (due to policies regarding a change in chemo after drug tolerance)
She currently needs roughly $6000 a week:
$3100 - chemo infusion
$600 - oral chemo pills
$200 - other medications
$1100 - Various IV fluids for immunity and nutrition
$860 - single room/food (single room - she needs a single room as guardians are only allowed in singles)
$72000 is the amount they need for the next 12 weeks, and may need more in the future.
Missionary Jeong Kim's family is also looking for housing as they need to leave their current housing within the next few months. They are looking for a place that accommodate for her medical needs when she returns from the hospital. Any excess funds may go to their housing.
