Diệp's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Diệp was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Thủ Đức General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my sister has been in and out of Thủ Đức General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Diệp 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Diệp 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $280 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Thank you for reading my story. - Trang
