Gangnam
Yu-na was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Gangnam Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,600 short. my wife has been in and out of Gangnam Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yu-na struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Yu-na won't be able to drive, 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 $4,600 goes: • Post-operative medication: $190 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,840 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
