Novi was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Jakarta University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $190, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $150 short. my daughter has been in and out of Jakarta University Hospital since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $190 is more than we can find. While we wait, Novi struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 12 weeks. During that time Novi won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
