Trinh's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Trinh was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in March. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $400 short. my mother has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital since March. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Trinh struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 8 weeks. During that time Trinh won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $240 • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 Thanks for reading all this. - Hậu
