After a benign brain tumor, Emma was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Toulon
Emma was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in December. The surgeon at Toulon General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,700 short. my sister has been in and out of Toulon General Hospital since December. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Emma struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Emma won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,100 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340 • Post-operative medication: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $550 • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Chloé

Updates from Chloé

  1. Update from Toulon: I made the first payment toward pre-operative tests and imaging. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($100). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) the plan for surgeon and anesthesia fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
