In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Chiang Mai Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $870, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $650 short. Doctors at Chiang Mai Community Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $870 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $650 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $360 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $135 Thank you so much.
