Help Yoga through 8 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer

8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Jakarta Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Yoga was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Jakarta Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Yoga is 24, worked as a nurse until August, 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 4 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 $500 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $230 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute: $165 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Rani

Updates from Rani

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($537 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($250 in total) the plan for transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Rani

  3. Thank you all. We're at 97% now ($485). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

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

    • Rani Novi FirmansyahOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($230) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.

    Thinking of you, Rani. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
