Surgery fund for Dung: hip replacement surgery in Hồ Chí Minh City

Dung was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $530, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $400 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $530 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dung struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Dung won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $30 I hope life is good to you. - Nam
