Kurniawan's kidney cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Kediri Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇩 East Java, Indonesia541 views
Kurniawan was diagnosed with kidney cancer in October. The oncology team at Kediri Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Kurniawan is 52, worked as a bus conductor until October, 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 Kediri 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $900 goes:
• Transport to Kediri Cancer Centre: $100
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kurniawan
It's all in the list in the story. transport to Kediri Cancer Centre is the big one at $100, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you peace, Aditya. Looking forward to the next update.
Good luck, Aditya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
