Ren's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Ren needs cataract surgery at Fukuoka Regional Medical Center and the family is $4,750 short of the hospital's estimate.

Ren was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Fukuoka Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,750 short.
my son has been in and out of Fukuoka Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ren 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 Ren 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 $4,750 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $240
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,050
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550
• Physiotherapy sessions: $520
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $390
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Hiroshi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
