Surgery fund for Cristian: septoplasty in Valencia

Cristian was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Valencia Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,050 short. my son has been in and out of Valencia Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Cristian struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Cristian won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $5,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650 • Post-operative medication: $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,620 Thanks for being kind about this.
