Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Lộc: covering what insurance won't

Lộc was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Cần Thơ Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my husband has been in and out of Cần Thơ Community Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lộc 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Lộc 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 $1,000 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $350 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
