Dũng's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Dũng was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in September. The surgeon at Thủ Đức University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,050 short. my father has been in and out of Thủ Đức University Hospital since September. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dũng struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Dũng won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Every share and every dollar helps. - Ngân
