Isazi sebhayoloji esincinci sothusa usapho lwayo "ngokucwangcisa ubomi emva kokubhubha kwakhe" kubandakanya nokufumanela umfazi wakhe umsebenzi
Ugqirha webhayoloji omncinci osweleke nge-lymphoma washiya ngaphezulu kwelifa elinye emva kokuzinikela kwiintsuku zakhe zokugqibela ukuqinisekisa ukuba umfazi wakhe kunye nentombi yakhe basinda kwikamva labo. UJeff McKnight, i-biologist eneminyaka engama-36 ubudala kwiYunivesithi yaseOregon, wasungula umkhankaso weGoFundMe ekuqaleni kuka-Okthobha ukuphakamisa imali kumfazi wakhe uLaura kunye nentombi yabo eneminyaka eyi-8, uKatherine. Ukwazi ukuba wayeneentsuku ezimbalwa nje ubudala, uMcKnight wachaza kwiphepha lokunyusa ingxowa mali ukuba olona loyiko "lukhulu" kukuba usapho lwakhe alunakuba nezinto ezaneleyo xa esweleka.
"Ndiyafa yi-lymphoma," wabhala uMcKnight. “Umfazi wam, uLaura, wayeligorha ngeli xesha. Sele eza kuphulukana namangenelo amabini (awam nawakhe) ngexa elawula kwaye esenza uphando kwilebhu esabelana ngayo ”. Uqhubeke wathi: "I-inshurensi yobomi bam ibulela kakhulu kwizifundiswa kwaye imali esiyigcinileyo iphantse ayikho." "Nceda ucinge ngokumxhasa ngelixesha ndingekhoyo." UMcKnight uphinde wabelana ngeGoFundMe kuTwitter wakhe, ebhala, “U-Doc uthe mhlawumbi bekuyiveki okanye kude. Kwigumbi likaxakeka kukhathalelo. Ndiyabulela nonke ngokulwa nam. " Ukusukela ngoko, iphepha linyuse ngaphezulu kwe- $ 400.000, eshiya usapho lwakhe lumangalisiwe yindlela utata wakhe ozinikeleyo abucwangcise ngayo ubomi bakhe emva kokubhubha kwakhe.
"Bendingazi ngeGoFundMe ayenzileyo de ndayibona kuTwitter… ndakhala kakhulu, utshilo uLaura NAMHLANJE. “Wayekhululekile kwaye enombulelo kuba abantu benikele, kwaye kwamenza waziva engcono ukwenza into ukusikhathalela, kodwa kwaphula intliziyo yam kancinci ukuba wayekhathazekile kwaye wabona ukungaphepheki kokufa kwakhe kubhalwe ngombala omhlophe. Kwaye kumnyama ndibethe nje kabuhlungu. UMcKnight usweleke nge-4 ka-Okthobha, kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa emva kokuphehlelela umkhankaso weGoFundMe wosapho, ngokweYunivesithi yaseOregon. "Kulusizi kakhulu ukuba siphulukene noJeff, owenza okuninzi ukuxhasa lo moya apha, kwaye sizakuqhubeka nokwenza njalo nangaphandle kokungabikho kwakhe," utshilo uBruce Bowerman, intloko ye-OU's Biology Department. "UJeff wayenqabile ngokuba sisazinzulu esikhethekileyo kunye nomlingane onobubele ngendlela engaqhelekanga." Umfazi kaMcKnight usebenza njengomphathi webhu yophando esikolweni. Nangona kunjalo, ngokukaLaura, umyeni wakhe waqinisekisa ukuba wayenamanye amathuba amcwangcisileyo emva kokubhubha kwakhe.
