Family of 2-year-old with rare brain cancer appeals for donations after selling what they could for treatment

Two-year-old Clarine Nowela Langelo should be playing at home with her two older siblings in Indonesia.

Instead, she is undergoing treatment in Singapore for a rare and highly aggressive form of brain cancer.

Her family have already spent more than they could afford on her medical care, selling whatever they could to pay for her initial brain surgery.

Now, with doctors saying Clarine must begin 30 sessions of radiotherapy by 19 August 2026, they are appealing to the public for help funding her urgent treatment.

Two-year-old developed tremors and lost her balance

Born in 2024, Clarine was a happy and cheerful child growing up with her family in Poso, Central Sulawesi.

However, her health began deteriorating rapidly in February 2026.

According to her aunt, Jane Langelo, Clarine first developed a fever that lasted three days.

Her right hand and foot then began trembling, and she lost her balance until she could no longer walk independently.
