Surgery fund for Ratna: laparoscopic cyst removal in Jakarta Barat

Ratna was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in November. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since November. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ratna 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Ratna 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 $650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $480 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Candra
