Silvia was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,500 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Silvia 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 4 weeks. During that time Silvia 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 $7,500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,000 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Post-operative medication: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $310 • Travel and lodging for the family: $280 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Elena

    Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Zagazig so I could bring a meal.

      looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Chennai.

            Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Fort Worth.
