Help Adel pay for emergency hernia repair at Saint Matthew Hospital

Adel was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in October. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,250 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since October. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adel struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Adel won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,250 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $250 • Post-operative medication: $360 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $640 Every share and every dollar helps. - Dina
