Sofía was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sofía struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 4 weeks. During that time Sofía won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,050 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $460 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
