Help Jung-ho pay for emergency hernia repair at Saint Elizabeth Hospital
After an aortic valve defect, Jung-ho was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Jung-ho was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,900 short.
my husband has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jung-ho struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Jung-ho won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850
• Physiotherapy sessions: $480
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
Hang in there, Na-young. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Seoul.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Good luck, Na-young. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Laredo.
