Help Maria pay for gallbladder removal at San Diego University Hospital

Maria was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in January. The surgeon at San Diego University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $14,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $7,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of San Diego University Hospital since January. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $14,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Maria struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Maria won't be able to drive, 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 $7,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 • Post-operative medication: $390 • Physiotherapy sessions: $570 • Travel and lodging for the family: $160 I hope life is good to you.
