Zahra's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Supporting Zahra through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Jakarta
In September I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Jakarta Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 49, I worked as a farmer until September, 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 the Jakarta Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $410 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to the Jakarta Oncology Institute: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $335 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Genuine person with a big heart

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Restored my faith in humanity

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    Changed my perspective

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    Best of luck, Zahra. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

    • Popy Fatema Ghosh

      hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Santa Rosa this morning.

      • Zahra Sawsan Nassar

        Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Jakarta!

        • Brett L. Jacobs

          It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

          • Aarón M. Martínez

            best of luck, Zahra. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Çankaya.

            • Nicole G. Santos

              Keep going, Zahra. Hope this works out for you. Love from Guarulhos.
