Ayu was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Jakarta Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $210, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $150 short. my daughter has been in and out of Jakarta Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $210 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ayu 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. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Ayu 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 $150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 If you're reading this, thank you.
