Help Okta through 6 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Okta is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,028 views
Okta was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Okta is 31, worked as a nurse until July, 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 Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $500 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Household costs while unable to work: $380
• Scans and lab work: $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts, Teguh. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Hang in there, Teguh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. All the best
