r/Charity

Hello everyone, my name Joshua, i'm a father of 2, sole provider of our household and meet my son, Hoshi. we came from indonesia unsupported region yes but i got help from my friend of 6 years emma in california to set the gofundme. i tried to post in r/gofundme immediatly but alas i dont have enough comment karma for it and just now reach it last week. enough about me, now lets talk about Hoshi.

Hoshi born in Sept 7th 2026. he got cleft palate and he got his 1st of 6th operation on february. his first operation was for lip surgery and the 2nd one is for soft palate surgery which is scheduled on june. thankfully the operation is covered by my country insurance but the medical care after it isnt. there's cost for making NAM, weekly NAM control, weekly NGT change and monthly vitamin. as a minimum wage worker i can't cover these without taking debt. so i hope i can get help from this. there's more image on the imgur album for detailed receipt.

if you have any question, i will answer it in the comment section below. thanks for reading my story and i hope you can help in spreading this.

Best regards,
Joshua

As my shopfront for Forest of Wisdom closed its doors on the 29th of March 2026, I decided to cut my hair once more and donate it to Variety – Hair with Heart, a charity that helps create wigs for children living with medical hair loss. This time, I’m also fundraising, with a goal of $2,500 to support kids in need.

To donate go to: Hair with Heart - Variety Children's Charity

Variety’s programs make a real difference. Any donations or funds raised will go directly towards Variety's grants and programs and help give kids in need a fair go. This could mean purchasing a new wheelchair for a child with a disability or buying school uniforms for kids who are doing it tough.

If you have long natural, untreated hair please consider donating your hair to Hair with Heart of programs just like this one around the world. You don't need to completely shave your head like I did but it makes a huge difference for those in need.

Help our son, Hoshi for medical care after surgery for cleft palate. 1st surgery done out of 6th surgery.

I just donated my hair to Hair with Heart to make wigs for children experiencing hair loss due to health conditions. I'm also raising money for Variety - Children's Charity!
