Palate reconstruction surgery for Hiếu: covering what insurance won't

Hiếu was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $400 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hiếu 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Hiếu 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: • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $45 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Vy
