Rahayu's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

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

Jakarta Barat
Rahayu was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at Jakarta Barat University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Rahayu is 24, worked as a primary school teacher until September, 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 Jakarta Barat University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $610 • Scans and lab work: $145 • Transport to Jakarta Barat University Hospital: $140 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $190 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Reza
