Fighting colon cancer: help Yanti afford treatment in Jakarta Selatan

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

Jakarta Selatan
Yanti was diagnosed with colon cancer in March. The oncology team at Jakarta Selatan University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Yanti is 24, worked as a bank teller until March, 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 Selatan 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Scans and lab work: $170 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Transport to Jakarta Selatan University Hospital: $180 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Praying for you, Irma. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

        Hope it all works out, Irma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

        • Adhiambo Njeri Macharia

          Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

          • William C. Burke

            Keep going, Irma. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
