Alyssa was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in December. The surgeon at Anaheim University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Anaheim University Hospital since December. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Alyssa struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 10 weeks. During that time Alyssa won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 • Post-operative medication: $230 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
