Sinta was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Jakarta Selatan Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,450 short.
my mother has been in and out of Jakarta Selatan Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,900 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sinta 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Sinta won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $550
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Travel and lodging for the family: $100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Wellington
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 31 people at work.
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal. God bless
