Hip replacement surgery for Umar: covering what insurance won't

Umar was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Ubud Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,100 short. my father has been in and out of Ubud Regional Medical Center 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 $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Umar struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Umar won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Siti
