Palate reconstruction surgery for Trisha: covering what insurance won't

Trisha was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at San Fernando Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $800 short. my daughter has been in and out of San Fernando Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Trisha struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 6 weeks. During that time Trisha won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Post-operative medication: $80 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $360 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $305 I hope life is good to you.
