Standing with Rahayu: colon cancer treatment costs

Supporting Rahayu through colon cancer: medication, transport to Jakarta Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Rahayu was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Jakarta Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Rahayu is 40, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Cancer Centre 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 $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $830 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to Jakarta Cancer Centre: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $190 Thank you for reading my story.
