Support for Zhang Xi’s Cancer Journey

Dear family, friends and kind-hearted supporters，

Today, please allow me to come with a deep and sincere request for support.

My name is Xi Zhang, my wife and I came to Canada in 2010. In the following years, we have studied hard, worked hard and lived happily here.

But things changed in Feb 2022, I was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The cancer specialist said that this is a very dangerous cancer, and the mutated lymphocytes develop very rapidly. Later, the development of the disease fully confirmed the doctor's statement. I received various treatments, including going to Toronto General Hospital in Feb 2023 to receive CAR-T therapy.

This year may pass very quickly for other people, but to me, it was a very long time, full of unbearable suffering.

I am currently receiving treatment at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH).

Due to long-term loss of work, I have no EI as a source of income for life. Although MSP has already borne part of the medical expenses, the out-of-pocket expenses during the treatment and the necessary living expenses also make us full of pressure.

My wife loves me very much. She is the sunshine in my life.

She takes care of me every day with all her heart and makes me full of good expectations for life.

I appreciate any little help you can provide because it will make a difference in my life.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
