Surgery fund for Emi: spinal decompression surgery in Tokyo

Emi was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Tokyo University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Tokyo University Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Emi struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Emi 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 $2,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330 • Travel and lodging for the family: $180 • Post-operative medication: $190 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
