Kanokwan was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Chiang Mai Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short. my mother has been in and out of Chiang Mai Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kanokwan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Kanokwan won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $750 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $440 • Post-operative medication: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 If you're reading this, thank you. - Chanchai
