Help me pay for septoplasty at Fresno Community Hospital

After a herniated spinal disc, Ella was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Fresno
In March I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Fresno Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $3,750 short. Doctors at Fresno Community Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a care assistant, 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 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 work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,750 goes: โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $600 โ€ข Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,900 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
