Liên's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Liên was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in October. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City Orthopedic Institute since October. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Liên struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Liên won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Tâm
