Surgery fund for Faith: a craniotomy in San Jose

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Faith was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Faith was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at San Jose Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,800 short. my daughter has been in and out of San Jose Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Faith 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 5 weeks. During that time Faith 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 $6,800 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,750 • Post-operative medication: $400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,960 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Robert
