Surgery fund for Yanti: a partial thyroidectomy in Jakarta

Yanti was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in April. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since April. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yanti struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Yanti 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 If you're reading this, thank you. - Maya
