Help me pay for cataract surgery at Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital
Dwi needs cataract surgery at Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

In July I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short.
Doctors at Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $440
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $475
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Dwi?
Thank you. If you're in Jakarta Selatan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Sending love. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Sending love, Dwi. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you and your family, Dwi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
