Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Mega afford treatment in Jakarta
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,054 views
Mega was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Mega is 25, 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 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $500 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center: $100
• Scans and lab work: $90
Thanks for reading all this.
