Jakarta Selatan
Galih was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in December. The oncology team at Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Galih is 39, worked as a hairdresser until December, 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 Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,700 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $125 โ€ข Transport to Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center: $70 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $205 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Zulkifli

    What's already covered and what's the $1,700 for?

    • Zulkifli UtomoOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $1,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.

  • Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope March is when things finally get easier

    • Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
