Surgery fund for Haruka: valve repair surgery in Shinjuku

Haruka was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in May. The surgeon at Shinjuku University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,250 short. my mother has been in and out of Shinjuku University Hospital since May. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Haruka 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 4 weeks. During that time Haruka won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $360 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,750 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Himari
