Utami's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Utami is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Utami was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at the Surabaya Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Utami is 42, worked as a nurse 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 the Surabaya Oncology Institute 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 $550 goes: • Transport to the Surabaya Oncology Institute: $185 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 I hope life is good to you. - Naufal
