Fighting cervical cancer: help Lestari afford treatment in Jakarta

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

Jakarta
Lestari was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September. The oncology team at Jakarta University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Lestari is 45, worked as a shop owner until September, 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 Jakarta 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $650 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $200 • Scans and lab work: $300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Transport to Jakarta University Hospital: $90 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Teguh

            Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Tallahassee so I could bring a meal!
