Anucha's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Anucha was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Bang Khen Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,150 short. my brother has been in and out of Bang Khen Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anucha 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Anucha 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $870 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $210 Thanks for being kind about this. - Darunee
