Help Landon pay for septoplasty at San Diego Community Hospital

Landon was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at San Diego Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,850 short. my son has been in and out of San Diego Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Landon struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Landon won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,000 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420 • Post-operative medication: $470 • Physiotherapy sessions: $790 • Travel and lodging for the family: $420 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aria
