Fighting multiple myeloma: help Rudi afford treatment in Jakarta Barat
Rudi is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Barat, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia953 views
Rudi was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in December. The oncology team at Jakarta Barat University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Rudi is 57, worked as a shop owner until December, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Jakarta Barat University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $700 goes:
• Transport to Jakarta Barat University Hospital: $95
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $370
• Scans and lab work: $135
With deep gratitude,
Lukman
Updates from Lukman
Update from Jakarta Barat: I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($81). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.

Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Jalandhar so I could bring a meal. Love from Sacramento.
