Dewi was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Makassar Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Makassar Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dewi struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Dewi 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 $1,050 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $400 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Gita
