Fighting colon cancer: help Elsa afford treatment in Jakarta

Supporting Elsa through colon cancer: medication, transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Jakarta
Elsa was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Elsa is 55, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900 • Household costs while unable to work: $210 • Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center: $135 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Hope things get better soon, Kartika. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings

        praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything

        • Darshan F. Solanki

          good luck. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

          • Jemima Abena Appiah

            Wishing you the best, Kartika. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Nsukka donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nsukka.
