Tài needs palate reconstruction surgery at Hồ Chí Minh City Community Hospital and the family is $900 short of the hospital's estimate.

Tài was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in February. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short.
my son has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City Community Hospital since February. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Tài struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Tài won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $410
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $40
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
With deep gratitude,

Wishing you the best, Khoa. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
how is Tài doing now?
Sending strength, Khoa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tài.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($270) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you peace, Khoa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Coventry.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. After 10 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Khoa. Hope you get there. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Wrocław.
