Surgery fund for Taylor: hip replacement surgery in San Francisco

Taylor was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at San Francisco Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of San Francisco Community Hospital since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Taylor 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. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Taylor 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 $6,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260 • Post-operative medication: $150 • Physiotherapy sessions: $630 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
