Fighting stomach cancer: help Ilham afford treatment in Jakarta
Supporting Ilham through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇩 Indonesia1,265 views
In July I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 49, I worked as a farmer until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $350 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Household costs while unable to work: $125
• Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center: $155
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

stay strong, Ilham. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Thika.
Sending love, Ilham. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you, Ilham. Wishing Ilham a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thanks for sharing this, Ilham. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless!
Sending love, Ilham. Gave what I could, wish it was more
