Standing with Yanti: stomach cancer treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Jakarta Selatan Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jakarta Selatan
In August I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at the Jakarta Selatan Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 the Jakarta Selatan Oncology Institute 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $550 goes: • Transport to the Jakarta Selatan Oncology Institute: $140 • Household costs while unable to work: $155 • Scans and lab work: $255 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Yanti

Updates from Yanti

  1. Small update. $108 so far, I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($168 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to the Jakarta Selatan Oncology Institute. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
