Fighting thyroid cancer: help Yusuf afford treatment in Jakarta

Supporting Yusuf through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Jakarta Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Jakarta
Yusuf was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at Jakarta Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Yusuf is 41, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Jakarta Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,100 goes: • Scans and lab work: $90 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $690 • Household costs while unable to work: $320 With deep gratitude, Jihan

Updates from Jihan

  1. Thank you all. We're at 56% now ($614). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
