Help Andrea pay for hip replacement surgery at Spokane General Hospital
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Andrea was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Andrea was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Spokane General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,950, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,950 short.
my mother has been in and out of Spokane General Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,950 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Andrea struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 8 weeks. During that time Andrea won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $410
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $700
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
• Physiotherapy sessions: $690
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
