A scheduled spinal decompression surgery in June is out of reach without help covering $1,050 of the cost.

Roos was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Utrecht University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Utrecht University Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Roos struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Roos won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $310 • Physiotherapy sessions: $460 • Post-operative medication: $280 Thanks for being kind about this. - Iris
