Help William pay for emergency hernia repair at San Francisco University Hospital
William needs emergency hernia repair at San Francisco University Hospital and the family is $6,250 short of the hospital's estimate.

William was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at San Francisco University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,250 short.
my husband has been in and out of San Francisco University Hospital since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, William struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time William 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 $6,250 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,320
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Sharon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Austin donated after I showed her your page. Love from Austin.
Rooting for you, Sharon. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted.
hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Bogotá.
Hope things get better soon, Sharon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
