In May I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Malang University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,050 short. Doctors at Malang University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 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 $1,050 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $380 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $515 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Naufal

  • keep going, Naufal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal.

      • Best of luck, Naufal. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
