Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Thủ Đức Community Hospital
Thu needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Thủ Đức Community Hospital and the family is $1,500 short of the hospital's estimate.

In February I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Thủ Đức Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,500 short.
Doctors at Thủ Đức Community Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $1,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $600
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90
• Travel and lodging for the family: $105
If you're reading this, thank you.
