Lina's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Lina was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short. my mother has been in and out of Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lina struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 5 weeks. During that time Lina won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $185 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
