Help Silvia pay for valve repair surgery at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

Silvia was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in March. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,800 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since March. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Silvia 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Silvia won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $630 Thank you for reading my story.
