Sun-woo was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in February. The surgeon at Daegu Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,200 short.
my brother has been in and out of Daegu Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sun-woo struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Sun-woo won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650
• Post-operative medication: $120
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,430
Every share and every dollar helps.
