​Hi everyone,

​I’m Kirsty, and I wanted to share a deeply important update. It has been almost one year since I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. 2025 really has tested me in every way possible, and while I have fought through surgery and chemotherapy, I am now facing a very difficult final stretch.

​The Current Battle: Radiotherapy & Surgery

​I am currently undergoing radiotherapy every single day. While I’m grateful to be moving forward, the daily costs of treatment are high and constant. I am also preparing for an upcoming surgery to remove my chemoport. This is a milestone I’ve looked forward to, but the cost of the procedure is much higher than I had anticipated.

​An Urgent Deadline: Moving by the 19th

​On top of these medical hurdles, I am facing a massive personal challenge: I have to move out by the 19th of February. That date is approaching so quickly. As many of you know, moving in Korea is incredibly expensive due to high deposits, and trying to manage moving costs alongside mounting hospital bills and regular expenses, all while having no income due to my G-1-10 medical visahas left me in a very vulnerable position.

Gofund goal:

I really hate asking for money, having to do this was really difficult for me as I've never been one to ask for help unless I really need to. I didn't know what a realistic goal would be so I hope you understand.

​Reaching the Finish Line

​The money raised so far has truly been my lifeline. It has brought me a very long way, but those funds are now almost gone, and the journey isn't over yet.

​I am so incredibly grateful for the help you’ve given me throughout this entire year. You have carried me through the darkest days. I am reaching out now to ask for help with this final push. I am so close to the end of this fight, but I need your support to get through these last medical procedures and to find a safe place to live as I finish healing.

​If you’re able to continue supporting, whether by donating, sharing, or simply sending love, please know that it means the world to me.

I’m doing my best to stay strong and hopeful as I fight this day by day. Thanks to all your help you have made this battle much easier.

​Lots of love and fight,

​Kirsty.
