Valentina's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Valentina was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at La Plata Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,550 short. my daughter has been in and out of La Plata Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Valentina struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 4 weeks. During that time Valentina won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $85 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $720 • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 Every share and every dollar helps.
