Giang's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in December is out of reach without help covering $1,150 of the cost.

Giang was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at Nha Trang Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,150 short.
my father has been in and out of Nha Trang Community Hospital since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Giang struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Giang 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 $1,150 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $550
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45

Stay strong. Hope you get there. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
how is Giang doing now?
Praying for you, Tâm. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Nice.
so sorry you're going through this, Tâm. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Nha Trang!
Thinking of you, Tâm. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
