Paola is a loving person, thoughtful friend, single mom, and works hard. She is in need of an immediate peritoneal catheter placement surgery so she can start dialysis treatments while she awaits a kidney transplant.

The hospital will not schedule the surgery without partial payment of her very large deductible. If you can help her with the medical costs associated with this lifesaving surgical procedure that she needs immediately, it would be so appreciated. She will continue to have financial needs beyond the first $3,000 amount the hospital requires of her, as her post-operative journey will require her to cut back work hours to part-time.
