Nhung was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $690, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $550 short. my mother has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $690 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nhung 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 3 weeks. During that time Nhung 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 $550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Thank you so much. - Lộc
