Help Teresa pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Los Angeles Community Hospital

Teresa was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in March. The surgeon at Los Angeles Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,500 short. my mother has been in and out of Los Angeles Community Hospital since March. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc 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, Teresa struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Teresa won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $5,500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $840 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,350 • Travel and lodging for the family: $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,120 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jayden
