Fighting kidney cancer: help Eka afford treatment in Jakarta Selatan
Eka is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,621 views
Eka was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Jakarta Selatan Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Eka is 31, worked as a bakery worker 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 Selatan Cancer Centre 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 $1,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Scans and lab work: $160
Glad we found this place.
