Surgery fund for Colton: septoplasty in Los Angeles

Colton was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in February. The surgeon at Los Angeles Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short. my brother has been in and out of Los Angeles Community Hospital since February. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Colton struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Colton won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,100 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440 • Post-operative medication: $310 • Travel and lodging for the family: $350 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Evelyn
