Urgent Support for Chantale Boyd-Kim and Family

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts as our dear family members, Chantale and DK, are facing an unimaginable challenge. The devoted couple met each other in South Korea, where Chantale was working in a preschool as an English teacher. In April 2017, after several years of incredible adventure, they married in a beautiful ceremony filled with love and hope.

Very soon after the wedding she began experiencing symptoms such as severe headaches and dizzy spells, and after months of fighting to be seen and heard, Chantale was diagnosed with Stage IV Glioblastoma Multiforme.

Glioblastoma is a devastating, aggressive, and fast growing brain cancer that invades brain tissue with tentacle-like tumour formations. Despite her relentless fight, trying every available treatment offered, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, and clinical trials, Chantale recently received the devastating news that her condition is terminal, and that at most, she has only a few months to live.

For Chantale to receive the care that she needs at home, her husband, DK, and her mother, Sandra, have both left their jobs to provide the full-time care that Chantale now requires.

This has created intense financial stress for the family. The weight of intense anticipatory grief combined with severe financial strain is overwhelming.

We are raising funds to support Chantale, DK, and Sandra during this critical time. The funds will be used for:

  • Rent and essential living expenses
  • Groceries and daily necessities
  • Medical supplies and equipment
  • Medical care and support services
  • Professional aides
  • More treatment if it becomes available
  • And any other expenses that may be associated with the treatments and care for Chantale.

Your generous contributions will help alleviate some of the financial pressures, allowing Chantale to spend her remaining time in comfort and peace, surrounded by her loved ones.

With no other family to turn to, we are asking anyone who could donate to this very worthy cause to please do so, Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant difference.


Please consider donating to support this loving family in their time of need. Whether you donate, please consider SHARING this campaign with your network to reach as many people as possible and help support a very worthy cause.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

With love,
Cat + Alyssa Barnes
