Maya was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at San Diego Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,700 short.
my wife has been in and out of San Diego Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Maya struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Maya won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $4,700 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $400
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,000
• Physiotherapy sessions: $500
• Travel and lodging for the family: $390
• Post-operative medication: $410

Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Bonny so I could bring a meal. Love from Madrid.
You're not alone, Ryan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 27 people at work. All the best.
