Help Irma through 4 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Supporting Irma through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇩 Indonesia166 views
Irma was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. 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 12 weeks.
Irma is 52, worked as a tailor until August, 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 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $185
• Transport to Jakarta Barat Cancer Centre: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $125
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 5 people at work
Sending love. Wishing Irma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Hope it all works out, Fitri. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Jakarta Barat
Hope things get better soon, Fitri. Shared this with my family. After 29 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Wishing Irma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Seville.
Stay strong, Fitri. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Recife this morning. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
Keep going, Fitri. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Guadalupe.
You're not alone, Fitri. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Dublin but we're thinking of you
Praying for you, Fitri. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from London.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
