HI, MY NAME IS CAIXIANG LIN. I’M FROM CHANG LE, A SMALL CITY IN FUJIAN, CHINA. WE ARE A YOUNG FAMILY LIVING IN FLUSHING. ON JULY 17, 2022, OUR LOVELY BABY GIRL LESSIE JOINED OUR FAMILY. SHE’S LIKE A GIFT FROM GOD. AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, MY WIFE JINGJING CHEN BECAME PREGNANT BECAUSE WE WANTED LESSIE TO HAVE A SIBLING AS SHE GROWS UP. THAT TIME WAS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. HOWEVER, ON FEBRUARY 14, 2023, MY WIFE WAS DIAGNOSED ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA, A TYPE OF CANCER THAT STARTS IN THE BLOOD-FORMING CELLS OF THE BONE MARROW. IT WAS A HUGE SHOCK TO ME. MY WIFE WAS IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT TO MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL (ADDRESS: 1468 MADISON AVE, NEW YORK, NY 10029) FOR HOSPITALIZATION. SHE RECEIVED CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT IN THE HOSPITAL, AND WAS COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED, PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, AND IT WAS HER THIRD MONTH OF PREGNANCY. OUR PARENTS ARE LIVING IN CHINA AND WE CAN’T AFFORD A PERSONAL CARE AIDE, SO I HAD TO QUIT MY JOB TO TAKE CARE OF HER AND MY SEVEN MONTH OLD BABY GIRL. I HAVE TO COOK FOR MY WIFE BECAUSE THE CHEMOTHERAPY IS VERY PAINFUL AND IT COMFORTS HER WHEN SHE EATS THE FOOD THAT I MAKE. I NEED TO SPEND THREE HOURS ON THE TRAIN EVERYDAY TO DELIVER FOOD TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MY WIFE, AND I ALSO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY SEVEN MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. RIGHT NOW, OUR FAMILY DOES NOT HAVE ANY SOURCE OF INCOME. I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD THE RENT AND LIVING EXPENSES. OUR FAMILY IS FACING A SEVERE SITUATION. I HOPE THAT OUR CARING PEOPLE WOULD SHOW THEIR LOVE AND HELP US THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. IF ANYONE WANTS TO MAKE A GENEROUS DONATION FOR MY WIFE TO FIGHT DISEASE, YOUR GENEROSITY AND KINDNESS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING DISEASE. MAY GOD ALWAYS BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
