Yusuf's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Yusuf is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Jakarta
Yusuf was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at the Jakarta Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Yusuf is 52, worked as a tailor until June, 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 the Jakarta 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Scans and lab work: $175 • Transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute: $205 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Jakarta.
