Help Bunga through 10 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

Bunga is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Bunga was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January. The oncology team at the Jakarta Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Bunga is 56, worked as a shop owner until January, 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 the Jakarta Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Scans and lab work: $170 • Transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $225 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ayu

  • Keep going, Ayu. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Jakarta.
