Surgery fund for Jenny: valve repair surgery in Los Angeles
Jenny needs valve repair surgery at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center and the family is $5,850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Jenny was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,850 short.
my wife has been in and out of Los Angeles Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jenny struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Jenny won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $5,850 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,000
• Travel and lodging for the family: $250
• Physiotherapy sessions: $920
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,680
Every share and every dollar helps.
