Fighting stomach cancer: help Bambang afford treatment in Surakarta
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Surakarta University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇩 Central Java, Indonesia883 views
Bambang was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at Surakarta University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Bambang is 36, worked as a hairdresser until May, 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 Surakarta University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $920
• Household costs while unable to work: $180
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Transport to Surakarta University Hospital: $90
Thank you so much.

Updates from Citra
Quick update: $841 raised so far (65%). I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Surakarta: the plan for transport to Surakarta University Hospital is now scheduled. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Good luck, Citra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 14 people at work. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Surakarta.
Wishing you peace, Citra. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
