Scarlett was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Anaheim General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $8,450 short. my daughter has been in and out of Anaheim General Hospital since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Scarlett struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 5 weeks. During that time Scarlett won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $8,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,850 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Post-operative medication: $370 • Physiotherapy sessions: $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $380 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Oliver

    Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
