Sari was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in February. The surgeon at Bekasi University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Bekasi University Hospital since February. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without cataract 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, Sari struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Sari won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $645 If you're reading this, thank you. - Umar
