Suthep's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Suthep was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Bangkok University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,050 short. my brother has been in and out of Bangkok University Hospital since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Suthep struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Suthep won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,050 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $175 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $840 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Lertchai
