Standing with Yoga: multiple myeloma treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Makassar University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Yoga was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April. The oncology team at Makassar University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Yoga is 47, worked as a bakery worker until April, 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 Makassar 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 $1,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Transport to Makassar University Hospital: $90
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $325

Sending love, Hesti. This could happen to any of us.
hope things get better soon, Hesti. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yoga
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($1,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Hesti. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Makassar.
Sending strength, Hesti. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Makassar.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Hope it all works out, Hesti. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
