Help Dimas through 10 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Medan University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇩 Indonesia1,955 views
Dimas was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Medan University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Dimas is 37, worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 Medan University Hospital 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 $1,350 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
Thank you for reading my story.

how is Dimas doing now?
Hang in there, Maya. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
take care, Maya. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Medan.
praying for you, Maya. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Maya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Sending love, Maya. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Maya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Take care
sending good thoughts, Maya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Bristol donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Sending love, Maya. Get well soon. God bless
Get well soon. Thinking of Medan.
wishing you the best, Maya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Medan.
