Help Silvia pay for hip replacement surgery at San Jose Regional Medical Center

Silvia was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at San Jose Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,150 short. my sister has been in and out of San Jose Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Silvia 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. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Silvia 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 $5,150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $490 • Post-operative medication: $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,470 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
