Fitria was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $810, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my mother has been in and out of Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $810 is more than we can find. While we wait, Fitria 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 10 weeks. During that time Fitria won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $650 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $520 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Aditya

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Jakarta Barat: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $40 raised so far (6%). I made the first payment toward post-operative medication. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Aditya
