Help Gunawan through 6 rounds of treatment for colon cancer

6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Surabaya Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Gunawan was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Surabaya Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Gunawan is 32, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 the Surabaya Oncology Institute 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 $1,550 goes: • Transport to the Surabaya Oncology Institute: $100 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $930 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 With deep gratitude, Oky

    Hope things get better soon, Oky. 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. Take care.

      So sorry you're going through this, Oky. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too
