Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Citra afford treatment in Bekasi
Citra is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇩 Indonesia2,128 views
Citra was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in December. The oncology team at the Bekasi Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Citra is 27, worked as a shop owner until December, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Bekasi 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $110
• Transport to the Bekasi Oncology Institute: $90
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Household costs while unable to work: $350
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Bekasi.
Hang in there, Yuni. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
how is Citra doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Yuni. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Keep going, Yuni. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hang in there, Yuni. Shared this with my family. Love from Kinondoni
shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
