Help with cancer related medical bills

Hi my name is Ville and I am writing this on behalf of Gashar Sokpa Khentul Rinpoche that I more familiarly call my brother Tenzin. No we are not from the same parents for all of you wondering :)

We met a bit over 5 years ago here in Finland and our paths have been intertwined ever since. We have been on many different adventures from celebrating Losar together in Lohja, building and operating a food truck and more recently I asked him to be the godfather of my firstborn daughter.

His attitude towards life and situations has been something I have really looked up to. Never too worried about small or big challanges at hand and always having a postive outlook even in the most difficult situations concerning residency in Finland, empolyment, financial worries etc. Now he is facest with maybe the biggest challenge of them all.

He travelled to France in the beginning of february to celebrate Losar after many years of not seeing his relatives and close ones that live over there. Quickly after Losar he fell critically ill and was rushed to the hospital. The news were grim... a diagnose of stage 2 lung cancer was given to him.

What makes his situation more difficult is that he doesn't have a permanent residency anywhere (application in Finland is pending for 3 years now), no insurance and no savings.

He is now still in France and has had 2 surgeries and will have to be operated on 3 more times before rehabilitation can begin if everything goes well.

I am asking on behalf of my friend and brother Gashar Sokpa Khentul Rinpoche for everyones financial help to support him with medical costs.

All donations will be directed to him and the costs of his treatment
