Fighting colon cancer: help Fitria afford treatment in Jakarta

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jakarta
Fitria was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Fitria is 50, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $600 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center: $180 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135 • Household costs while unable to work: $365 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Satria

Updates from Satria

  1. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($180). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($609 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 56% now ($839). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.

        everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Muzaffarpur so I could bring a meal. Take care.
