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

Carlos was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in September. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since September. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Carlos struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Carlos won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Post-operative medication: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $805 With deep gratitude, Rosângela
