Mapo
Kyung-mi was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in February. The surgeon at Mapo General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mapo General Hospital since February. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kyung-mi struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Kyung-mi 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 $4,000 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,950 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 • Travel and lodging for the family: $200 With deep gratitude, Tae-hoon
