Surgery fund for Faith: hip replacement surgery in Yonkers
Faith needs hip replacement surgery at Saint Joseph Hospital and the family is $7,400 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 United States3,006 views
In September I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $7,400 short.
Doctors at Saint Joseph Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $7,400 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,950
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,350
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $630
• Post-operative medication: $190
• Physiotherapy sessions: $920
• Travel and lodging for the family: $360
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Pretoria.
shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Faith. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
