I'm an American citizen living abroad with my lovely wife Kiki (Sri Ayu Rezeki) while she attends college in Perak, Malaysia. Kiki is a scholarship student studying Early Childhood Development/Education, and she is also struggling with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. As if college wasn't enough of a challenge.

Anypoo, my VISA restricts me from working - which hate with a passion, as I don't have a lazy bone in my body. Soooo funds from her school's insurance should almost be depleted. It wasn't much, but it took care of expenses for her second chemotherapy treatment cycle. Cancer is one expensive motherboffer. If I'd known she had cancer before we started courting (online) more than two years ago, I'd've said "So what."

BUT we would definitely have been able to plan better financially. There's a reason they're called "curve balls", yeah? Anypoo, though it's great to make fu friends and all, we really need your help - all that we can possibly get. Every major, and minor, foundation and cancer/medical organization has turned us down for financial assistance due to our not residing in the United States

And while I can't wait to return, and show Kiki the life she has been denied for so long, we can't afford to just pack up and move. If we could, trust us, we would. In a New York minute. So if everyone reading this would donate one dollar, we'd put a nice dent in the expenses we've accrued (over $7,000 (USD) for treatment that made her health worse than when she was admitted), and the expenses we're going to rack up in the months to come.

Ideally, we'd prefer to move right away, so that she can treated properly, and acquire the financial assistance and medical care we would have access to in the U.S. Heck, I don't even have health insurance; not that it would be accepted here. So if I get Malaria, Yellow Fever, Dengue (etc.), I guess life will be all the tougher for Kiki. This place is so far behind in technology, sewage/sanitation, transportation (you get the picture), it's like the 1950s in the States. I wasn't born yet, but I know it was a scary time compared to now.

We'll make sure we give a breakdown of how backward things are here when we return to the U.S. (Kiki's afraid I'll be deported for being so "outspoken", BUT(T) it's hard to keep quiet when you see so many things being done incorrectly, and I love my wife, so her health and safety are priorities over all else; even impaired egos and mentalities. For now, we really need all the help getting the word out about the fundraiser, and whatever donations we can get as quickly as possible.

We had big plans before cancer came back and "kicked a hole in our hull", and, with your help, we're going to accomplish our goals and follow through on our not-yet-realized objectives of entertaining the world, bridging international and cultural gaps, and bringing charity into the forefront of everybody's minds. That's right, don't blame the governments for the world's problems. SELF-GOVERN instead of waiting for change to mysteriously occur. (Bullet dodging not included.)

Enough said. Thanks for your time and energy.

Ciao for now, Kaptain Kwirk & Kalamity Kiki
