Standing with Lukman: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Barat University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In July I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Jakarta Barat University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Jakarta Barat University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $940
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Transport to Jakarta Barat University Hospital: $90
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Lukman. Shared this with my family. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Rochester donated after I showed her your page
Hope things get better soon, Lukman. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Rawalpindi.
Hang in there, Lukman. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
