Gabriela was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Sacramento Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,350, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Sacramento Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gabriela struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Gabriela won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,750 goes: • Post-operative medication: $250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $710 • Physiotherapy sessions: $790 With deep gratitude, Eduardo

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Sacramento.
