Okta was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Jakarta University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Okta is 26, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $600 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Transport to Jakarta University Hospital: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $310 Every share and every dollar helps. - Joko

  • Sending love, Joko. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Jakarta!

    • Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

      • Take care, Joko. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
