Help Justin Beat Cancer!

Urgent: Help North Korean Defector and Human Rights Activist Justin (Cheolryong) Seo Fight Cancer

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out with a heartbreaking and urgent plea.

Justin, a North Korean defector living in the East Coast of the United States, has just been diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer. He recently completed his medical tests, and the hospital bills have already become a heavy burden — costs that are not covered by health insurance.

He bravely escaped the North Korean regime and found freedom in America.

Now, after a successful resettlement and building a new life and living the American Dream, Justin was recently struck by this devastating diagnosis.

It is truly tragic that this courageous young man must now face such a serious and expensive illness on top of everything he has already endured. Time is critical, and the medical expenses are piling up fast.

He has also been a dedicated human rights activist, tirelessly advocating for North Korean refugees and defectors while shining a light on the severe human rights abuses in North Korea.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to help cover his treatment and give him the best chance to fight and beat this cancer.

He fought the evil North Korean regime — now let’s help him fight and beat cancer!

That is why we are urgently asking for your help. As fellow North Korean defectors, activists, friends and compassionate people, please come together and support Justin.

Every donation — no matter how small — will directly help cover his life-saving treatment. Please don’t wait. Your support today can make a real difference in his fight for survival.

Thank you deeply for your kindness and generosity in this urgent time of need.
