Hoa was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Nha Trang Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $450 short. my daughter has been in and out of Nha Trang Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hoa struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Hoa won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $450 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $280 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
