Surgery fund for Eko: knee replacement surgery in Bandung

Eko was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Bandung University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my son has been in and out of Bandung University Hospital since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without knee replacement 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, Eko struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Eko 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 $850 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $460 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 Thanks for being kind about this.
