Surgery fund for Alexandra: septoplasty in Los Angeles
Alexandra needs septoplasty at Los Angeles General Hospital and the family is $7,350 short of the hospital's estimate.

In April I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Los Angeles General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $14,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $7,350 short.
Doctors at Los Angeles General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $14,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $7,350 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,500
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,550
• Physiotherapy sessions: $570
• Travel and lodging for the family: $290
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440
Every share and every dollar helps.

How is Alexandra doing now?
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Take care!
Is hospital stay (2 nights) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. hospital stay (2 nights) is the biggest at $2,500. Thanks for asking.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there
take care. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
