The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Haruto 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 12 weeks. During that time Haruto 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 $3,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,650 • Post-operative medication: $200 If you're reading this, thank you. - Shun
