Nanami was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Setagaya University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,000 short. my mother has been in and out of Setagaya University Hospital since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nanami 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. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Nanami 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 $5,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 • Post-operative medication: $195 • Physiotherapy sessions: $470 • Travel and lodging for the family: $175 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Takeshi

      keep going, Takeshi. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
