Help Umar through 4 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

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

Umar was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at the Jakarta Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Umar is 25, worked as a primary school teacher until April, 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 the Jakarta Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,800 goes: • Scans and lab work: $280 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute: $170 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Yanti

  1. Small update. $341 so far, I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($186). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute.

        Wishing you peace, Yanti. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
