Emergency hernia repair for Giuseppe: covering what insurance won't
Giuseppe needs emergency hernia repair at Latina General Hospital and the family is $2,450 short of the hospital's estimate.

In February I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Latina General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $2,450 short.
Doctors at Latina General Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,100 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $2,450 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $550
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,600

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Latina!
Thank you. If you're in Latina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this, Giuseppe. Wishing Giuseppe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Latina.
Praying for you, Giuseppe. Get well soon. Take care.
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. Thinking of Latina.
Good luck, Giuseppe. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Embakasi donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Savar.
