Kurniawan was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Surakarta Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my husband has been in and out of Surakarta Community Hospital since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kurniawan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Kurniawan won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30 Thank you for reading my story. - Eka

      Thank you. If you're in Surakarta I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Jakarta.

    • Keep going, Eka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
