Hailey was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in January. The surgeon at Birmingham Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,250 short. my mother has been in and out of Birmingham Community Hospital since January. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hailey 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 3 weeks. During that time Hailey won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $640 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,380 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Donna

Updates from Donna

  1. Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($785). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for surgeon and anesthesia fees is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $785 raised so far (24%). I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($125 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
