Help Sharon pay for hip replacement surgery at Saint Matthew Hospital
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Sharon was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sharon was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,400 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sharon 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Sharon 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 $6,400 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800
• Physiotherapy sessions: $690
• Travel and lodging for the family: $240
• Post-operative medication: $240
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,430
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
