Help Gloria pay for gallbladder removal at San Diego Regional Medical Center

Gloria was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at San Diego Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,900 short. my daughter has been in and out of San Diego Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gloria 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 12 weeks. During that time Gloria 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 $3,900 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270 • Post-operative medication: $170 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,460 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
