Nenita's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Nenita needs hip replacement surgery at Saint Anne Hospital and the family is $350 short of the hospital's estimate.

Nenita was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $700, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nenita struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Nenita won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $50 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Gerald

Updates from Gerald

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($120 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital stay. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
