Dinda's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In August I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Makassar Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $400, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $200 short. Doctors at Makassar Community Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Dinda
