Harper was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Sheffield Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,500 short. my wife has been in and out of Sheffield Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Harper struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 12 weeks. During that time Harper won't be able to walk without help, 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 $3,500 goes: • Post-operative medication: $260 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,500 • Travel and lodging for the family: $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $520 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Hang in there, Carter. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Coyoacán.

      Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!

        Wishing Harper a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Sheffield.
