Surgery fund for Aditya: palate reconstruction surgery in Jakarta Barat
Aditya needs palate reconstruction surgery at Jakarta Barat Community Hospital and the family is $1,050 short of the hospital's estimate.

In January I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Jakarta Barat Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,050 short.
Doctors at Jakarta Barat Community Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,750 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 12 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.
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 $1,050 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $360
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Aditya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Aditya. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Austin
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Aditya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Aditya. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
