Help Mason pay for emergency hernia repair at Flint General Hospital
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Mason was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Mason was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in September. The surgeon at Flint General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,400 short.
my father has been in and out of Flint General Hospital since September. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Mason struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 8 weeks. During that time Mason 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 $4,400 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $330
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450
• Post-operative medication: $380
• Physiotherapy sessions: $970
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,270
