Eliana's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Eliana was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in September. The surgeon at El Paso Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,100 short. my wife has been in and out of El Paso Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Eliana 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Eliana won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,100 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,490 Glad we found this place.
