Surgery fund for Luis: hip replacement surgery in Fort Worth

Luis was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $7,700 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luis struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 6 weeks. During that time Luis won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,700 goes: • Post-operative medication: $380 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,700 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,620 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
