Renata was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at La Plata University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my mother has been in and out of La Plata University Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Renata 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Renata 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $670 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $370 Glad we found this place.
