Hi there,
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's surgery and your recent added stress. I would reach out to either your local Shrine Temple or the SLC Shrine (look online) and inquire about help. You do not have to be a Shriner to ask for help. I have heard of them transporting families. I would also try calling the Family Services folks on SLC and see if they can help with any of the costs.
Good luck,
Gayle
