Surgery fund for Maya: palate reconstruction surgery in Bekasi
A scheduled palate reconstruction surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $600 of the cost.
🇮🇩 Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia1,088 views
In August I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Bekasi Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $600 short.
Doctors at Bekasi Community Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress 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.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $600 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90

praying for you, Maya. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Bekasi
Stay strong, Maya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
praying for you. Wishing Maya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Sending strength, Maya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope things get better soon, Maya. Hope this works out for you.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Austin so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Nagoya
Thinking of you and your family, Maya. Hope the doctors have good news. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
