Surgery fund for Gita: hip replacement surgery in Jakarta

In July I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Jakarta General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $700 short. Doctors at Jakarta General Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 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 7 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Post-operative medication: $50 I hope life is good to you.
