Help Dewi through 4 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jakarta Barat
Dewi was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in December. The oncology team at Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Dewi is 40, worked as a shop owner until December, 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 Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre 4 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 $1,650 goes: • Transport to Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre: $125 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 • Scans and lab work: $85 Thank you for reading my story.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.
