Jakarta Selatan
In September I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Jakarta Selatan Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a farmer until September, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Jakarta Selatan Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $400 goes: • Scans and lab work: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $175 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • good luck, Wahyu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
