Surgery fund for Rina: a partial thyroidectomy in Jakarta

Rina was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Jakarta Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $500 short. my mother has been in and out of Jakarta Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rina struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 3 weeks. During that time Rina won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $500 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Thanks for being kind about this.
