In August I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Surakarta General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $830, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at Surakarta General Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $830 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $390 • Post-operative medication: $30 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Joko
