Eun-ji's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In August I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Seoul University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $4,050 short. Doctors at Seoul University Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $4,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 • Post-operative medication: $270 • Physiotherapy sessions: $480 • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 Thank you so much.
