Help Dinda through 8 rounds of treatment for colon cancer

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

Dinda was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at the Bandung Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Dinda is 45, worked as a hairdresser until June, 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 Bandung 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $165 • Transport to the Bandung Oncology Institute: $155 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Heru
