Surgery fund for Daisuke: a craniotomy in Tokyo
A scheduled a craniotomy in December is out of reach without help covering $2,150 of the cost.

In August I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Tokyo Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $2,150 short.
Doctors at Tokyo Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,700 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $2,150 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $580
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $990
• Travel and lodging for the family: $160
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Cầu Giấy so I could bring a meal. God bless.
You're not alone, Daisuke. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Tokyo.
thanks for sharing this, Daisuke. Hope you get there.
So sorry you're going through this, Daisuke. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Epe.
