Hesti's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Hesti needs cataract surgery at Bogor University Hospital and the family is $900 short of the hospital's estimate.

Hesti was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Bogor University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Bogor University Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hesti struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Hesti won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $455
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Pandu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Hang in there, Pandu. Wishing Hesti a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Kyiv but we're thinking of you. All the best.
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning.
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Bogor.
Thinking of you, Pandu. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
