Rani's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In December I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $920, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $920 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Rani
