Angel's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Angel was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at London Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,600 short. my husband has been in and out of London Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Angel struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Angel won't be able to walk without help, 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 $3,600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $630 • Travel and lodging for the family: $300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,670 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
