Help me pay for septoplasty at Medan University Hospital
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Okta was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Medan University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $850 short.
Doctors at Medan University Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $850 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $210
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115

Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
sending love. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Fortaleza but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Medan.
