Help Sharon pay for valve repair surgery at San Jose University Hospital
After a benign brain tumor, Sharon was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sharon was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in April. The surgeon at San Jose University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $8,150 short.
my daughter has been in and out of San Jose University Hospital since April. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sharon struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Sharon won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $8,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,850
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330
• Post-operative medication: $310
• Physiotherapy sessions: $920
• Travel and lodging for the family: $490
I hope life is good to you.
