Palate reconstruction surgery for Xuân: covering what insurance won't
Xuân needs palate reconstruction surgery at Thủ Đức Community Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam522 views
Xuân was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Thủ Đức Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my mother has been in and out of Thủ Đức Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Xuân struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Xuân won't be able to walk without help, 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: $60
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $360
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $20
Thanks for reading all this.
