Surgery fund for Shun: a partial thyroidectomy in Shinjuku

Shun was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Shinjuku Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for October. 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 $4,400 short. my father has been in and out of Shinjuku Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shun struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Shun won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $4,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $390 • Post-operative medication: $260 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
