Help Mirjam pay for emergency hernia repair at The Hague Orthopedic Institute
Mirjam needs emergency hernia repair at The Hague Orthopedic Institute and the family is $5,400 short of the hospital's estimate.

Mirjam was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in September. The surgeon at The Hague Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,400 short.
my daughter has been in and out of The Hague Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Mirjam struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Mirjam won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,400 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $970
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,130
With deep gratitude,
Esther

how is Mirjam doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Esther. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless!
get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Keep going, Esther. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
