Huyền's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a herniated spinal disc, Huyền was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Huyền was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $530, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $400 short.
my sister has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $530 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Huyền struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time Huyền won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $400 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $210
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Dallas.
Take care, Tuyết. Wishing Huyền a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending good thoughts, Tuyết. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bacoor
This could happen to any of us. Love from Obuasi.
