Gallbladder removal for Thắng: covering what insurance won't

Thắng was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $200 short. my father has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Thắng struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Thắng 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 $200 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Post-operative medication: $35 I hope life is good to you. - Quyên
