After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Angelica was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Angelica was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in April. The surgeon at Bacoor Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Bacoor Community Hospital since April. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Angelica 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Angelica 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 $1,000 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
