Help Elena pay for valve repair surgery at Los Angeles University Hospital

Elena was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,950, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,200 short. my wife has been in and out of Los Angeles University Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elena 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Elena 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 $2,200 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,200 • Physiotherapy sessions: $330 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $670 Thank you for reading my story. - Gregory
