Hiroto needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Sapporo Orthopedic Institute and the family is $5,950 short of the hospital's estimate.

Hiroto was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in March. The surgeon at Sapporo Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,950 short.
my son has been in and out of Sapporo Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hiroto struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Hiroto won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,050
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350
• Post-operative medication: $170
• Physiotherapy sessions: $670
• Travel and lodging for the family: $210
Thanks for reading all this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sapporo!
Thank you. If you're in Sapporo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hang in there, Sota. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Guarulhos.
Sending good thoughts, Sota. I hope things turn around soon. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
How is Hiroto doing now?
Stay strong, Sota. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Novosibirsk.
Thanks for sharing this, Sota. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Praying for you, Sota. Wishing Hiroto a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
