Yun-seo was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in March. The surgeon at Gwangju General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,450 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Gwangju General Hospital since March. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Yun-seo 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Yun-seo 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 $3,450 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $135
• Physiotherapy sessions: $240
• Post-operative medication: $105
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,850
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,120
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending strength, Mi-young. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Mi-young. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. All the best!
