Thủy's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Thủy was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Thủy was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Thủy struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Thủy 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 $750 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $540
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Physiotherapy sessions: $110

best of luck, Diệp. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Rochester.
