Châu was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $310, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $250 short. my mother has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $310 is more than we can find. While we wait, Châu struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Châu won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $250 goes: • Post-operative medication: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $175 Thank you for reading my story.
