Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Sacramento University Hospital
Serenity needs emergency hernia repair at Sacramento University Hospital and the family is $8,150 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States2,237 views
In June I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Sacramento University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $8,150 short.
Doctors at Sacramento University Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $8,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,500
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,150
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410
• Post-operative medication: $330
• Physiotherapy sessions: $410
• Travel and lodging for the family: $350

Sending strength, Serenity. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Khulna
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Brisbane so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Sacramento.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Dayton donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
