Dian was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Surabaya Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Surabaya Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dian struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Dian won't be able to work a full shift, 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. After 10 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
