Help Imam through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

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

Imam was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February. The oncology team at Jakarta Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Imam is 41, worked as a shop owner until February, 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 Cancer Centre 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 $1,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860 • Household costs while unable to work: $210 • Scans and lab work: $230 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Zahra

Updates from Zahra

  1. Quick update: $577 raised so far (44%). I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $253 so far, we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($165 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
