About Berkat Ambon 

In 2016, Linda Mossel was required to undergo a major medical surgery. The nurses at the medical facility mentioned to her that the hospital's non-profit organization often gives discounts on her healthcare insurance's deductible. They informed her that it was unlikely that she would get the discount but she decided to apply anyways. She didn't hear anything from them for awhile so she made plans to pay the deductible. Shortly before she was to have surgery, she received a letter from the non-profit informing her that her deductible had been covered. While she was extremely grateful for the discount, it made her think about all of the people in Ambon that don't have access to medical services because they can't afford it or don't have good healthcare insurance. She decided to use the money that she would have spent on her deductible to start the Berkat Ambon Charitable Fund, which aims to help cover medical services for people in need in Ambon.
