Help Evelyn pay for valve repair surgery at Springfield General Hospital
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Evelyn was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Evelyn was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Springfield General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,350 short.
my wife has been in and out of Springfield General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Evelyn 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Evelyn 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 $6,350 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $780
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,200
• Post-operative medication: $220
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Springfield.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Derry.
Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Laval.
