Help Jin-ah pay for a craniotomy at Mapo Community Hospital
Jin-ah needs a craniotomy at Mapo Community Hospital and the family is $4,050 short of the hospital's estimate.

Jin-ah was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in December. The surgeon at Mapo Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,050 short.
my wife has been in and out of Mapo Community Hospital since December. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jin-ah struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Jin-ah 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 $4,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,100
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $820
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240
• Post-operative medication: $190
• Physiotherapy sessions: $550
• Travel and lodging for the family: $150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Gun-woo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Stay strong, Gun-woo. Get well soon.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Pretoria so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Mapo
Good luck, Gun-woo. Wishing Jin-ah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Jodhpur
Sending love, Gun-woo. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
