Help Bảo pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Joseph Hospital
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in May is out of reach without help covering $800 of the cost.

Bảo was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $800 short.
my father has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Bảo struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 8 weeks. During that time Bảo won't be able to walk without help, 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 $800 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $225
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Bình. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Udaipur
How is Bảo doing now?
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Sending love, Bình. Wishing Bảo a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bảo.
Pre-operative tests and imaging is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
So sorry you're going through this, Bình. Get well soon
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Take care. Hope you get there. Love from Santos.
