My story

Update posted by Kunasingham Thavachelvan

Hi everyone!

I am Kunasingham Thavachelvan and I am 34 years old. I live in London with wife and three kids under six years old.I was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 known as Sarcoma which is soft muscle tissue cancer and appeared on my right fore arm below the elbow. Then I was given radiotherapy and followed with a surgery to remove the tumor.

After that I thought that is the end but unforfunately the cancer I had was an aggressive cancer and it turned back again in the right arm with more tumors. The I was only given an option to amputate my right arm above the shoulder and I was amputated in 2013 September following with six cycles of chemotherapy. At least now I thought i am cured even though I don't have a hand. At this state in 2015 I became homeless and being put I a temporary accomdation in a hotel in one room with my wife and three kids. The accommodation is not hygienic and has no health and safety as well. After putting me in temporary accomdation in April 2015 I am now being diagnosed with lung metases, which the Timor has come back I my lungs and now I am going through high dose of chemitherapy again and the doctors have told me that their will be a major surgery done in your lungs by September to remove the tumor. I am worried about u prognosis and my family howy wife and children will survive afterward with out a house to live as well. So I asking all your help to donate any amount you can to help my family with our medical need and homelessness. I Hope atleast with your help my kids will live a better life.

Please also see the accommodation pictures that I am living in now with risk of infection and hygienic and having chemotherapy and five of us sleeping in one bed in a room. The council has said that they cannot find us a suitable accommodation as they have no houses in their council for homelessness people even with medical conditions. Me and my wife are both unemployed and we cannot afford to pay for a house even as a private tenant. My children are suffering to sleep and are missing everything they need in their age.

Please help.

Thank you.
