Ariana's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled septoplasty in September is out of reach without help covering $5,050 of the cost.

Ariana was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,050 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ariana struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Ariana won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $5,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,900
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
• Post-operative medication: $135
• Physiotherapy sessions: $620
• Travel and lodging for the family: $225
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
