Surgery fund for Chalerm: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Bang Khen
Chalerm needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Bang Khen General Hospital and the family is $1,200 short of the hospital's estimate.

Chalerm was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in December. The surgeon at Bang Khen General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,200 short.
my brother has been in and out of Bang Khen General Hospital since December. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Chalerm struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Chalerm won't be able to work a full shift, 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: $200
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $840
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120
With deep gratitude,
Nattaya

looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Lahore.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Chalerm?
Thank you. If you're in Bang Khen I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Nattaya. Wishing Chalerm a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Bang Khen
you're not alone, Nattaya. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
