Help Elsa pay for knee replacement surgery at Makassar General Hospital

Elsa was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in May. The surgeon at Makassar General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,150 short. my mother has been in and out of Makassar General Hospital since May. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elsa 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Elsa 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Thanks for being kind about this.
