Angela's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Angela needs palate reconstruction surgery at Saint Joseph Hospital and the family is $3,800 short of the hospital's estimate.

In February I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $3,800 short.
Doctors at Saint Joseph Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,350
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650
• Physiotherapy sessions: $800
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
praying for you, Angela. Get well soon. My neighbor in Erie donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Angela. Hope you get there. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Angela. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Cairo but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out, Angela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Gqeberha
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Manukau.
