Eko's stomach cancer treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Magelang University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Magelang
Eko was diagnosed with stomach cancer in February. The oncology team at Magelang University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Eko is 33, worked as a tailor until February, 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 Magelang University Hospital 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 $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $790 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to Magelang University Hospital: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 I hope life is good to you.

      Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Magelang.

        Thank you. If you're in Magelang I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

    • Asher N. Washington

      rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. All the best!

      • Maryam Asma Hamdan

        Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

          A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Central Java. I'll ask around and let you know.

          • Amaka Efe Gbadamosi
