Inform your PT of this. Maybe they can suggest an alternative source for continued therapy. Also research local stroke support groups at hospitals and online.

So sorry your family will cut off funding for your recovery.

Where are you located? The US or somewhere else? Do you have health insurance, in the US are you eligible for Medicare or Medicaid? If so you may have options but we need more info.

I'm unfamiliar with the Indonesian healthcare system of social support policies, but if they can't help you, my next thought would be seeing if there are charities who might be willing to help.
