Winda was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in October. The surgeon at Bandung General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $400 short. my sister has been in and out of Bandung General Hospital since October. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Winda struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Winda won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Post-operative medication: $45 Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Good luck, Sinta. Shared this with my family.

    • Wishing Winda a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Bandung.
