In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Fresno University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $3,900 short.
Doctors at Fresno University Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $3,900 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $450
• Physiotherapy sessions: $360
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,090
Thanks for reading all this.
