Wulan's colon cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia2,172 views
In June I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Jakarta University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 49, I worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Jakarta University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $700 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $170
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150
• Transport to Jakarta University Hospital: $180
• Household costs while unable to work: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Wulan
Quick update: $467 raised so far (67%). the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($260 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Tel Aviv.
Hope things get better soon, Wulan. I hope things turn around soon.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jakarta
Thank you. If you're in Jakarta I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone, Wulan. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 23 people at work.
This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
sending love, Wulan. Get well soon. Don't give up
