Naomi's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Naomi needs valve repair surgery at Sacramento General Hospital and the family is $4,650 short of the hospital's estimate.

Naomi was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in November. The surgeon at Sacramento General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,650 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Sacramento General Hospital since November. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Naomi 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Naomi 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 $4,650 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $270
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,200
• Post-operative medication: $180
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you, Wesley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Sacramento
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Nottingham donated after I showed her your page. Blessings!
Good luck, Wesley. Wishing Naomi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Üsküdar donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Üsküdar.
