Help Jimena pay for knee replacement surgery at Girona Community Hospital
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Jimena was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Jimena was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Girona Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,550 short.
my wife has been in and out of Girona Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,400 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jimena struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Jimena won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $180
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $980
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,390
Thanks for reading all this.
