Surgery fund for Ilham: knee replacement surgery in Jakarta Barat

Ilham was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in December. The surgeon at Jakarta Barat Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $800 short. my father has been in and out of Jakarta Barat Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ilham struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Ilham won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Every share and every dollar helps. - Lia
