Help Nhung pay for hip replacement surgery at Sydney University Hospital
Nhung needs hip replacement surgery at Sydney University Hospital and the family is $6,550 short of the hospital's estimate.

Nhung was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Sydney University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,550 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Sydney University Hospital since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nhung 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 8 weeks. During that time Nhung 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 $6,550 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,150
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $730
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $640
• Travel and lodging for the family: $160
With deep gratitude,
