Siti was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in September. The surgeon at Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $950 short. my mother has been in and out of Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Siti struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 10 weeks. During that time Siti won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $950 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $465 I hope life is good to you.

  1. Quick update: $245 raised so far (26%). the plan for pre-operative tests and imaging is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($385 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
