Muhammad was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Bandung University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Muhammad is 29, worked as a nurse until May, 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 Bandung University Hospital 4 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to Bandung University Hospital: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $260 If you're reading this, thank you.
