Help Sari through 12 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer

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

Sari was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. The oncology team at Ubud Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Sari is 41, worked as a bus conductor until April, 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 Ubud 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $330 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

                Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sari.

                • The list at the bottom is the whole picture. household costs while unable to work is the biggest at $330. Thanks for looking so closely.

              • Sending good thoughts, Gita. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Oakland

                • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ubud.

                  • Thank you. If you're in Ubud I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

                • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Bali. I'll ask around and let you know.

                  • Sending good thoughts, Gita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
