Liliana was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at San Diego Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $8,100 short. my daughter has been in and out of San Diego Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Liliana 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. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Liliana 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 $8,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,200 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 • Post-operative medication: $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $640 • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
