Budi was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $270, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $270 is more than we can find. While we wait, Budi struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Budi won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $200 goes: โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $40 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $45 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $115 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sari
