Surgery fund for Hudson: emergency hernia repair in Dallas
Hudson needs emergency hernia repair at Dallas University Hospital and the family is $5,250 short of the hospital's estimate.

Hudson was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in January. The surgeon at Dallas University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,250 short.
my father has been in and out of Dallas University Hospital since January. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hudson 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Hudson 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 $5,250 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $440
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,350
• Post-operative medication: $250
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650
• Physiotherapy sessions: $560
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
