Minh was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in December. The surgeon at Memphis Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,100 short. my daughter has been in and out of Memphis Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Minh struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Minh won't be able to drive, 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 $5,100 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,750 • Post-operative medication: $180 • Physiotherapy sessions: $940 Thanks for being kind about this. - Thảo

  • You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from San Jose.
