Help Hui pay for septoplasty at Newcastle University Hospital
Hui needs septoplasty at Newcastle University Hospital and the family is $7,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Hui was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in March. The surgeon at Newcastle University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,000 short.
my husband has been in and out of Newcastle University Hospital since March. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hui struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Hui won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $7,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $560
• Post-operative medication: $180
• Physiotherapy sessions: $540
• Travel and lodging for the family: $520
Thanks for reading all this.
