Help Heru through 6 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Heru is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇩 Indonesia805 views
Heru was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Heru is 29, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Barat Cancer Centre 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 $1,450 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Transport to Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre: $75
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,215
Thanks for reading all this.
