Help Erlangga pay for hip replacement surgery at Saint Luke Hospital
A scheduled hip replacement surgery in June is out of reach without help covering $900 of the cost.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia670 views
Erlangga was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in March. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short.
my son has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since March. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Erlangga struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Erlangga won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $110
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $360
• Post-operative medication: $70
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Zahra. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 20 people at work. Love from Düsseldorf.
you're not alone. Shared this with my family. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Chiang Mai.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you
Hope it all works out, Zahra. Wishing Erlangga a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless

sending good thoughts. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
