Dinda was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in April. The surgeon at Jakarta Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short. my sister has been in and out of Jakarta Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dinda struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Dinda won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Glad we found this place.
