Fighting stomach cancer: help Irma afford treatment in Jakarta
10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Jakarta Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia105 views
In October I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at the Jakarta Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 48, I worked as a tailor until October, 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 the Jakarta Oncology Institute 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $430
• Scans and lab work: $185
• Transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute: $135
Every share and every dollar helps.
