Jakarta Selatan
Dedi was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in January. The oncology team at Jakarta Selatan Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Dedi is 24, worked as a primary school teacher until January, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Jakarta Selatan Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $350 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $155 • Scans and lab work: $100 • Transport to Jakarta Selatan Cancer Centre: $95 I hope life is good to you.
