Help Vivian pay for gallbladder removal at Corpus Christi Orthopedic Institute

Vivian was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in May. The surgeon at Corpus Christi Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,400 short. my daughter has been in and out of Corpus Christi Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Vivian struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Vivian won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $4,400 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 Every share and every dollar helps. - Eli
