Surgery fund for Imam: a partial thyroidectomy in Jakarta Selatan

In June I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $800, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $400 short. Doctors at Saint Catherine Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $800 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $400 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $300 • Post-operative medication: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
