Slamet's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Slamet was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Slamet was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in January. The surgeon at Bekasi Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my father has been in and out of Bekasi Regional Medical Center since January. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Slamet struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Slamet won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $480
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Your post was clear and honest. God bless!
Stay strong, Candra. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hang in there, Candra. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
