Valve repair surgery for Andi: covering what insurance won't

In April I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Jakarta General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Jakarta General Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $380 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
