Help Esperanza pay for knee replacement surgery at Sacramento University Hospital

Esperanza was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Sacramento University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,600 short.
my mother has been in and out of Sacramento University Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Esperanza struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 3 weeks. During that time Esperanza won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $2,600 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $760
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,600
• Travel and lodging for the family: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
