Help Karina pay for valve repair surgery at Mesa Community Hospital

Karina was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Mesa Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,550 short. my sister has been in and out of Mesa Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Karina struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Karina 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 $6,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,600 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330 • Post-operative medication: $410 • Physiotherapy sessions: $500 • Travel and lodging for the family: $360 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Jimena
