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

Anthony was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,400 short. my son has been in and out of Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute since August. 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 $7,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anthony struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 5 weeks. During that time Anthony won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $5,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,000 • Post-operative medication: $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,000 • Physiotherapy sessions: $790 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
