Surgery fund for Manee: valve repair surgery in Chiang Mai

Manee was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Chiang Mai Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,200 short. my mother has been in and out of Chiang Mai Community Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Manee 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Manee 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $960 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 If you can't give, please share this page.
