Maya's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Maya through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Depok Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇩 Depok, West Java, Indonesia1,014 views
In May I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Depok Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a tailor until May, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Depok Oncology Institute 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Transport to the Depok Oncology Institute: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Depok
Thanks for sharing this, Maya. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope August is when things finally get easier
Sending good thoughts, Maya. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Accra
You're not alone, Maya. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
you're not alone, Maya. Wishing Maya a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Thanks for sharing this, Maya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 15 people at work!
sending strength, Maya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Depok.
Best of luck, Maya. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
