Surgery fund for An: septoplasty in Hanoi

An was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $710, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $500 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $710 is more than we can find. While we wait, An struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 5 weeks. During that time An won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $440 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
