José was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, José 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time José 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 $950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $180 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Every share and every dollar helps.

      So sorry you're going through this, Claudia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

      $150 raised of $950
