Fighting prostate cancer: help Ratna afford treatment in Jakarta
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ratna was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October. The oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Ratna is 38, worked as a hairdresser until October, 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 Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $105
• Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center: $130
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $865

Hope it all works out, Gunawan. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Jakarta!
Rooting for you, Gunawan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 21 people at work.
Get well soon. Greetings from Jeddah!
Sending love, Gunawan. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from São Paulo.
Keep going, Gunawan. This could happen to any of us!
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best!
