Surgery fund for Oanh: palate reconstruction surgery in Cần Thơ

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Oanh was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Cần Thơ
Oanh was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Oanh struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Oanh won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $750 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $570 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 Thank you so much. - Tuyết
