Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Rina afford treatment in Malang

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

Rina was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Malang Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Rina is 41, 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 the Malang Oncology Institute 2 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: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $950 • Scans and lab work: $130 • Transport to the Malang Oncology Institute: $65 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $185 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Fitria

  1. Small update. $61 so far, I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Quick update: $61 raised so far (4%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($51). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  • Take care, Fitria. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.

    • Thinking of you, Fitria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli.

      • You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • I hope things turn around soon. Love from Lagos.
