Okta was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in January. The surgeon at Bekasi Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $700 short. my mother has been in and out of Bekasi Community Hospital since January. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression 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, Okta struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 4 weeks. During that time Okta won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Post-operative medication: $20 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Aditya

    Honest and trustworthy

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

  • Hope things get better soon, Aditya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
