Surgery fund for Isla: emergency hernia repair in Nottingham
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in October is out of reach without help covering $5,000 of the cost.

Isla was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Nottingham Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,000 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Nottingham Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst 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, Isla struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Isla won't be able to walk without help, 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 $5,000 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,050
• Travel and lodging for the family: $185
• Physiotherapy sessions: $570
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,195
Thanks for reading all this.
