Fighting kidney cancer: help Rina afford treatment in Jakarta Selatan
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,056 views
Rina was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Rina is 38, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 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 $1,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Transport to Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending good thoughts, Galih. Shared this with my family. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless!
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
