Waraporn was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $800 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since June. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Waraporn 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 5 weeks. During that time Waraporn won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $800 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $660 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 I hope life is good to you.
