Surgery fund for Amber: emergency hernia repair in St. Petersburg

Amber was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Amber struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 8 weeks. During that time Amber won't be able to drive, 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 $1,600 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $480 • Physiotherapy sessions: $660 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460 If you're reading this, thank you.
