Surgery fund for Umar: knee replacement surgery in Jakarta Selatan

Umar was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,350 short. my father has been in and out of Jakarta Selatan Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Umar struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Umar won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $690 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $500 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
