Jakarta
Bagus was diagnosed with kidney cancer in January. The oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Bagus is 57, worked as a nurse until January, 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 Regional Medical Center 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center: $95 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $705 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yanti

  2. Thank you all. We're at 55% now ($577). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Update from Jakarta: we've started the first stage. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

                Hope it all works out, Yanti. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
