Silvia was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Silvia struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 8 weeks. During that time Silvia won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $155 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $935 Thank you for reading my story. - Luigi

      Rooting for you, Luigi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Ruma Sharmila Ahmed

        Hope things get better soon, Luigi. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Barat so I could bring a meal. All the best.
