Surgery fund for Khoa: gallbladder removal in Hồ Chí Minh City

Khoa was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $450 short. my son has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Khoa 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 12 weeks. During that time Khoa 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 $450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
