Save Baby Ben

Donation protected
Hello All,

I am starting this fundraiser to help my sister - Jenny, and my brother in law - Billy, and their newly premature baby - Baby Ben.

My sister and Billy had been trying to get pregnant for the last five years with no success. They went to have it checked to a several different doctors. All of them said it will be very challenging to conceive naturally.
They finally sold their car to fund an IVF process. The first one was a no success.
The second one, they were blessed with pregnancy.
However, it wasn't an easy pregnancy. My sister was bleeding throughout her pregnancy and had to bedrest and hospitalized. 

Entering her 26 weeks of pregnancy, she had another bleeding . This time the doctor said that Jenny's cervix had dilated and the placenta was starting to come out. 

The baby was born 13 week earlier. It's a boy. They named him Benedict Appolo. Benedict means the blessed one. Appolo means light. 
His weight is 34 oz and premature. 

Jenny and Billy live in Indonesia where there is no health insurance coverage for their situation. 

Their hospital bill for day 1 at NICU was $2500 and Jenny's hospital bill for labor was $2000.

Doctor still cannot determine how long Ben will be at NICU. But we know the cost will be too great for us. 

We would like to ask for your help to help Ben to be able to continue his fight to survive at NICU.

We greatly appreciate any helps you can share with us at this difficult times. 

With love,
Anne, Jenny, Billy, and Ben!
