Fighting cervical cancer: help Rina afford treatment in Jakarta Barat

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

Jakarta Barat

Rina was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Jakarta Barat University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Rina is 50, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Barat University Hospital 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $680 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Transport to Jakarta Barat University Hospital: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $320 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
