Surgery fund for Rebecca: valve repair surgery in Denver
A scheduled valve repair surgery in May is out of reach without help covering $6,250 of the cost.
🇺🇸 Denver, Colorado, United States6,304 views
Rebecca was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in February. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,250 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since February. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Rebecca 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Rebecca won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,250 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,900
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $700
• Post-operative medication: $160
• Physiotherapy sessions: $400
• Travel and lodging for the family: $190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
