Ximena's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Ximena needs emergency hernia repair at Saint Catherine Hospital and the family is $2,900 short of the hospital's estimate.

Ximena was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,900 short.
my sister has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ximena 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Ximena won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,050
• Physiotherapy sessions: $510
Thanks for being kind about this.
