After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Teguh was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Teguh was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in January. The surgeon at Magelang Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,250 short. my husband has been in and out of Magelang Community Hospital since January. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Teguh 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 7 weeks. During that time Teguh 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $660 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $310 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Okta

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Teguh?

    • Okta Utami UtomoOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Magelang I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

    Rooting for you, Okta. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Salvatore Stefano Santoro

      You're not alone, Okta. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
