Surgery fund for Heru: ACL reconstruction in Jakarta Selatan
Heru needs ACL reconstruction at Jakarta Selatan University Hospital and the family is $600 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, IndonesiaPosted Oct 1, 2026416 views
In August I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Jakarta Selatan University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $600 short.
Doctors at Jakarta Selatan University Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a restaurant cook, 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 restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 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 $600 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $420
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Heru. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Sacramento.
shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
