Bella's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Bella was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Tampa General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,900 short. my mother has been in and out of Tampa General Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bella struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Bella won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,550 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $470 • Post-operative medication: $360 • Physiotherapy sessions: $810 • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 Thanks for reading all this.
