Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Jakarta Barat University Hospital
Rani needs emergency hernia repair at Jakarta Barat University Hospital and the family is $1,200 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia983 views
In July I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Jakarta Barat University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,200 short.
Doctors at Jakarta Barat University Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,600 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $1,200 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $40
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $300
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $685
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

stay strong, Rani. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal!
