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

Vy was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $600, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $450 short. my mother has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Vy struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Vy won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Phong
