Gregory was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in February. The surgeon at San Diego Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,750 short. my son has been in and out of San Diego Regional Medical Center since February. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gregory struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Gregory won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $3,750 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,750 • Physiotherapy sessions: $620 • Travel and lodging for the family: $380 Thank you so much.
