A young woman in Bandung has put her kidney for sale online for 600 million rupiah (60 thousand dollars).

The girl, Zha Kania, wrote that she was 20 years old and did not consume drugs or alcohol. She placed the ad on the free site www.pasangiklangratis.com.

She cried on the phone when she was trying to tell her story to the Jakarta Globe. "I really want to tell you... but maybe later in the evening when I'm not at work," she said between sobs.

Kania runs a small t shirt shop in Bandung. Previously, she told detik.com she wanted to sell her kidney to help her father get out of debt after the family's garment business collapsed earlier this year.

"He has to pay tens of millions of rupiah in debts and we don't have any money," she was quoted as saying.

Kania is the oldest of two. Her sibling is still in senior high school. Her mother is a part time Koran teacher. "My mother does not make much money and saving will take a long time. We need instant money," she said.
