Hui was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at San Diego University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,950, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,700 short. my father has been in and out of San Diego University Hospital since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hui struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Hui won't be able to drive, 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 $3,700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 • Physiotherapy sessions: $750 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500 With deep gratitude, Lan
