Ani's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled hip replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $600 of the cost.

In September I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Jakarta University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $800, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $600 short.
Doctors at Jakarta University Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $800 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $600 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $470
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out, Ani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Hope things get better soon, Ani. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Jakarta
