Support Karen Kondo's Fight Against Cancer

My sister, Karen Kondo, a 31-year-old artist living in Kiyokawa, Japan, was recently diagnosed with chondrosarcoma in her left hip. This rare type of bone cancer requires immediate surgical intervention to remove the tumor, followed by a total hip replacement to restore her mobility. The procedure is complex, involving the removal of part of her pelvis and extensive reconstructive surgery. The costs are very challenging and we are reaching out for help. Karen has always brought joy and creativity into our lives. Now, she needs us more than ever.

Karen's treatment plan includes not only the surgery but also up to a year of intensive physical therapy to ensure a full recovery. The financial challenge includes hospital bills, surgery costs, ongoing therapy sessions, and everyday living expenses while she's unable to work. Your generous donations will directly support these needs, providing Karen with the stability and peace of mind she requires during this tough journey.

Beyond financial support, Karen also needs emotional encouragement. Sharing this campaign with your networks and sending her messages of hope can make a significant difference. Please join us in supporting Karen through this challenging time. Together, we can help her overcome this obstacle and continue to inspire through her art. Thank you.
