Help Châu pay for hip replacement surgery at Saint Matthew Hospital

Châu was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in June. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since June. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Châu struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 7 weeks. During that time Châu 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 $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350 • Post-operative medication: $35 Thank you so much.
