Surgery fund for Bagus: a craniotomy in Magelang

Bagus was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in February. The surgeon at Magelang Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,250 short. my father has been in and out of Magelang Community Hospital since February. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bagus struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Bagus won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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: $540 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
