ACL reconstruction for Ngọc: covering what insurance won't

Ngọc was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in March. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $730, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $730 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ngọc struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Ngọc won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Thu
