Ahmad's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Ahmad is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ahmad was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Ahmad is 49, worked as a bus conductor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $850 goes: โ€ข Transport to Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center: $150 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $560 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 Thanks for reading all this. - Lestari

  • Good luck, Lestari. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
