Surgery fund for Dinda: valve repair surgery in Magelang
Dinda needs valve repair surgery at Magelang Regional Medical Center and the family is $600 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇩 Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia868 views
Dinda was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in March. The surgeon at Magelang Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $860, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $600 short.
my mother has been in and out of Magelang Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $860 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Dinda 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 4 weeks. During that time Dinda 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 $600 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $110
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
• Post-operative medication: $65
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this, Dian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
So sorry you're going through this, Dian. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Magelang.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mombasa.
Best of luck, Dian. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
rooting for you, Dian. This could happen to any of us. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Dian. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Sending love, Dian. I hope things turn around soon
