Maya was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in January. The surgeon at Makassar General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short. my mother has been in and out of Makassar General Hospital since January. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Maya struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Maya won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Novi
