Help me pay for hip replacement surgery at Jakarta Orthopedic Institute

After a benign brain tumor, Ratna was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In April I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Jakarta Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Jakarta Orthopedic Institute told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 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. 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 $850 goes: • Post-operative medication: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $360 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ratna

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ratna?

    • Thank you. If you're in Jakarta I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Thinking of you. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Piraeus.

    • Hope things get better soon, Ratna. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
