Surgery fund for Maya: emergency hernia repair in Jakarta Selatan
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in December is out of reach without help covering $150 of the cost.

In September I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Jakarta Selatan University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $200, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $150 short.
Doctors at Jakarta Selatan University Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $200 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $150 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
Thanks for reading all this.
