Surgery fund for María: ACL reconstruction in Fresno
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, María was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

María was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Fresno Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,650 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Fresno Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, María 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time María 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 $4,650 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $430
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,150
• Physiotherapy sessions: $570
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $500
Thanks for reading all this.
