Meng was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $19,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $9,600 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $19,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Meng struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Meng won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $9,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,450 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $680 • Travel and lodging for the family: $310 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Durham.
