Surgery fund for Phương: laparoscopic cyst removal in Gold Coast
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in August is out of reach without help covering $2,900 of the cost.

Phương was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Gold Coast General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,900 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Gold Coast General Hospital since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Phương struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 6 weeks. During that time Phương 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 $2,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,250
• Post-operative medication: $175
• Travel and lodging for the family: $475
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Huy. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Rotterdam
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Gold Coast.
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Praying for you, Huy. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
