Help Ling pay for septoplasty at Orlando Community Hospital
After a cleft palate needing repair, Ling was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Ling was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in March. The surgeon at Orlando Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,350 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Orlando Community Hospital since March. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ling struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Ling 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 $5,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410
• Physiotherapy sessions: $480
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,200
• Post-operative medication: $310
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

praying for you. Wishing Ling a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ling
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($1,950) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Hope things get better soon, Chen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Corpus Christi this morning
sending good thoughts, Chen. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ling?
Thank you. If you're in Orlando I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Take care, Chen. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Winnipeg!
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Madurai.
