Surgery fund for Dedi: a craniotomy in Semarang

Dedi was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in March. The surgeon at Semarang General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short. my father has been in and out of Semarang General Hospital since March. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dedi struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Dedi won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $230 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Post-operative medication: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
