Surgery fund for Pairoj: laparoscopic cyst removal in Bang Khen

Pairoj was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in April. The surgeon at Bang Khen Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $530, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $400 short. my husband has been in and out of Bang Khen Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $530 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pairoj struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 5 weeks. During that time Pairoj 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 $400 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $175 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Patcharee
