Ayaka was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Shinjuku Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,800 short. my wife has been in and out of Shinjuku Community Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ayaka 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Ayaka 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 $4,800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,600 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 • Post-operative medication: $270 • Physiotherapy sessions: $420 • Travel and lodging for the family: $160 Thanks for reading all this.

      Hope things get better soon, Kouki. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Stay strong. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

        • Praying for you, Kouki. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.

          • How is Ayaka doing now?

            • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

              • rooting for you, Kouki. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

                • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
