Help Paula pay for gallbladder removal at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center

Paula was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Los Angeles Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Paula struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Paula won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $7,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,150 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510 • Post-operative medication: $480 • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 • Travel and lodging for the family: $420 Thanks for being kind about this. - Soledad
