Scarlett was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in September. The surgeon at Laredo University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,500 short. my daughter has been in and out of Laredo University Hospital since September. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Scarlett struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 5 weeks. During that time Scarlett won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $3,500 goes: β€’ Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 β€’ Post-operative medication: $240 β€’ Travel and lodging for the family: $320 β€’ Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 β€’ Physiotherapy sessions: $730 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      Sending strength, Angela. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
