It's been a rough year for the Le family

Hi, my name is Andrew Le. We are a family of 5-me, my beautiful wife Anabel, and our 3 princesses, Alyson (10), Aleina (6), Ariana (6). 

In 2022 my wife have 2 big women diagnoses of diseases, in and out of the hospital for 9 month, 3 weeks ago my daughter was in the hospital for 4 days for appendicitis. 

Me, I'm a very hard-working dad. Never there was a day that I give up on taking care of my family no matter what happen. we live paycheck to paycheck, but we pay our bills. On my day off, I give all my free time to my wife and kids. I give them all the love that I can, I do what a daddy should do. I didn't say I'm a perfect man or a perfect daddy, but I could tell you that I'm the best husband and best daddy to my wife and kids. I did not know my own father and I'm the daddy that I wish I had. 

I have knee pain that has been bothering me for over 2 years. There was never a day that I have pain-free. I can't even walk a half-miles or run with my girls. It gets to the point that this man cries like a baby in pain. Never has a good night's sleep and wakes up here and there with knee pain. I can bearly drive to work. I work in constant pain. 

Finally, I give up the fight, and 2 months ago I go the doctor, to get an x-ray, MRI, and ultrasound. I went for a biopsy on my knee, the results are positive for the tumor. I'm Diagnosed with PVNS. It is growing around my knee. the doctor told me to have surgery asap before it ruins the tendons and bone and cripples me for good. 

I ask to push the surgery to March 24, 2023, because we have used all our savings to pay for the $10,000 in Deductibles and hospital and doctor expenses for my wife and daughter. we pay for our own insurance, but it has a big surgery deductible. The hospital was kind and helped us with $2500 from a charity fund, but we have no more savings to pay the deductible on my hospital, surgery, and rehab, which will be around $12.000

 I will be out of work for four to eight weeks after the surgery and rehab. As for my job, I don't have sick days or vacations. I only get paid if I work. We cannot make it on one salary, even though my wife is back to work. 

I know people reading this will ask themself what kind of job I have. I am in the personal service industry. My clines will read this and know that Im telling nothing but the truth. 

I'm asking for your kindness to help with my medical bills and rehab expenses for 6 to 8 weeks of recovery and rehab. our family needs to raise about $11,000 for the new medical expenses that my insurance does not cover. we live a simple life and save money, but after my wife and daughter's hospital bills, we have spent everything we had saved, plus a credit card on medical bills. 

Thank you, and know this about me, in the future, I will pay it forward. Our family volunteers at our church, our community and with the camp programs for our girls. We don't have much, but we still give to other people.
