Help me pay for cataract surgery at Jakarta Regional Medical Center
Gunawan needs cataract surgery at Jakarta Regional Medical Center and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Jakarta Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short.
Doctors at Jakarta Regional Medical Center told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $1,000 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $350
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470
• Physiotherapy sessions: $55
• Travel and lodging for the family: $95
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
