Tika's thyroid cancer treatment fund

Tika was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at the Jakarta Barat Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Tika is 37, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 the Jakarta Barat Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $480 • Scans and lab work: $170 • Transport to the Jakarta Barat Oncology Institute: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $305 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
