Lukman's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Lukman was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Jakarta Barat University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,250 short. my son has been in and out of Jakarta Barat University Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lukman struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Lukman won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $480 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Satria
