When 13-year-old Graceline Famlevina’s acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) relapsed for a second time, her parents were devastated.
Now, she faces intensive chemotherapy and a second bone marrow transplant in Singapore, with treatment costs estimated at between $350,000 and $450,000.
Her father, Fadli, 43, told Stomp that the family has exhausted nearly every avenue to pay for her care.
“Last year, before we started crowdfunding, we paid for her treatment using our savings, donations from friends, and by selling our car and apartment,” said Fadli, who works in quality control at a pharmaceutical company in Indonesia. His wife, Gema, 42, works in quality control at a dairy company.
“But these were still not enough to cover her medical bills, so we also borrowed money from the companies where we work.

“We are foreigners trying our best for our daughter’s recovery in Singapore, where the medical costs are very high. Her medical expenses are far beyond what we can afford on our salaries.”
The family came to Singapore in April 2025 after Graceline suffered her first relapse, as advanced treatment options for relapsed AML were unavailable in Indonesia.
While Fadli remains in Indonesia for work and visits periodically, Gema has been living in Singapore with Graceline for the past 15 months as her full-time caregiver while continuing to work remotely.
