Surgery fund for Rudi: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Jakarta

After a torn ligament that needs reconstruction, Rudi was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Jakarta
In July I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Jakarta Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,050 short. Doctors at Jakarta Community Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Rudi
