Emergency hernia repair for Chloe: covering what insurance won't
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Chloe was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Chloe was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in December. The surgeon at Hialeah Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,200 short.
my mother has been in and out of Hialeah Regional Medical Center since December. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Chloe 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Chloe won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $5,200 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $720
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $700
• Post-operative medication: $380
With deep gratitude,
Denise

Keep going. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Take care, Denise. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Leicester so I could bring a meal. God bless
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Metz but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Hialeah
good luck, Denise. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
