Help Khadija pay for spinal decompression surgery at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

Khadija was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $850 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Khadija 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Khadija 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Thanks for reading all this. - Michael
