Help Fitria through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

Fitria is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Jakarta Barat
Fitria was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in September. The oncology team at Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Fitria is 30, worked as a tailor until September, 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 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 $600 goes: • Transport to Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre: $125 • Scans and lab work: $250 • Household costs while unable to work: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Elsa

  1. Quick update: $376 raised so far (63%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($272 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Wishing you the best, Elsa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

        Best of luck. Wishing Fitria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
