Phúc was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Thủ Đức Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,200 short.
my son has been in and out of Thủ Đức Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,400 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Phúc struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 4 weeks. During that time Phúc 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 $1,200 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $400
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Dundee.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Thủ Đức.
