Graciela was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Savannah University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,950, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Savannah University Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Graciela struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 Graciela won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,950 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $490 • Post-operative medication: $160 • Physiotherapy sessions: $640 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,390 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
