Fighting multiple myeloma: help Rahayu afford treatment in Bandung

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Bandung University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bandung
Rahayu was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Bandung University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Rahayu is 37, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 Bandung University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,500 goes: • Transport to Bandung University Hospital: $155 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Household costs while unable to work: $195 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Rudi

    • Lúcia Renata MarquesQuestion

      Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bandung

      • Rudi HalimOwnerAnswer

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to Bandung University Hospital, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.

    • Paul Hermann Pfeiffer

      Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kano.

      • Mpho ChettyQuestion

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rahayu

        • Rudi HalimOwnerAnswer

          Sure. The biggest one is transport to Bandung University Hospital, $155. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

      • Maverick K. Reyes

        Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Love from Mumbai.

        • Carolina B. Duarte

          You're not alone, Rudi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 34 people at work.

            How is Rahayu doing now?

            • Ashwin G. Varma

              So sorry you're going through this, Rudi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

              • Bharath R. Acharya

                Best of luck, Rudi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings

                  So sorry you're going through this, Rudi. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Bandung.

                  • Alexander E. Whitaker

                    thinking of you, Rudi. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update.

                      Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

                        Get well soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bandung.
