Rizky's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Rizky is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rizky was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Magelang University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Rizky is 57, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Magelang 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $185 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Dewi

  1. Quick update: $665 raised so far (49%). I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($320). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.

    Stay strong, Dewi. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.

      Good luck, Dewi. This could happen to any of us.

      • Perla J. Andrada

        Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

        • Faruk Joy Bhuiyan

          Hang in there, Dewi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          • Valentina C. Carrillo

            Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
