Arief's stomach cancer treatment fund

Arief is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Depok
Arief was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Depok Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Arief is 54, worked as a primary school teacher 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 the Depok Oncology Institute 4 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 $1,800 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $360 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Transport to the Depok Oncology Institute: $145 • Scans and lab work: $245 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Depok.

    • Suhas D. Chavan

      Thinking of you, Candra. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Montpellier.

      • Leah M. HansenQuestion

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arief

          Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning

          • Courtney Lewis

            Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Rome.

            • Fatima Favour Abdullahi

              hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care

              • Irina Inna Popov

                Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Medina

                • Rabia Gamze Kara

                  good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
