In a trembling voice, Mrs. Herlawati expressed her desperation, “I’m really confused… I don’t know what else to do. I need help.”

There is nothing valuable left in her house. Everything has been sold to pay for her treatment. Her health continues to worsen. The latest diagnosis shows an aggressive skin tumor causing half of her face to swell, with a large open wound.

The pain is unbearable. For the past seven months, she has been fighting through the agony while trying to get whatever treatment she can afford. Because the open wound has not received proper medical care, the cancer cells have already destroyed the surrounding tissue — and Mrs. Herlawati could no longer save one of her eyes. None of the painkillers she takes are strong enough to ease the increasing pain.

She is now waiting for the biopsy results to determine her next treatment — whether she will need chemotherapy or major surgery. The challenges faced by her and her husband are overwhelming. Her husband works irregular jobs as a porter at the harbor, earning whatever he can, whenever work is available.

Not all of her medical costs are covered by health insurance. With all her strength, Mrs. Herlawati hopes there are kind-hearted people who can help lighten her burden. She just wants to recover, even though she knows there is no guarantee of full healing.

“Every two days, this wound must be cleaned at the clinic, as advised by the doctor. And every three days, I need to buy medicine that costs more than what we can afford…My husband’s income is never consistent,” she said.

Let’s offer full support for Mrs. Herlawati so the cancer does not spread further to other parts of her body, which could endanger her life.
