Xiu's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After severe cataracts in both eyes, Xiu was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇺🇸 Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States3,382 views
Xiu was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in June. The surgeon at Minneapolis Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,850 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Minneapolis Community Hospital since June. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Xiu struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Xiu won't be able to drive, 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 $6,850 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $300
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,400
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,050
• Travel and lodging for the family: $430
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $670
With deep gratitude,
Jian

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Minneapolis.
What's already covered and what's the $6,850 for?
Post-operative medication is $300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Minneapolis.
So sorry you're going through this, Jian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Minneapolis!
Thank you. If you're in Minneapolis I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Hang in there, Jian. Hope this works out for you.
how is Xiu doing now?
hope things get better soon, Jian. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out!
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Albany this morning. Thinking of Minneapolis.
So sorry you're going through this, Jian. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Minneapolis
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Dallas.
