Elena's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Tlaquepaque
In June I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Tlaquepaque Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,950 short. Doctors at Tlaquepaque Orthopedic Institute told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,950 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $810 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Physiotherapy sessions: $300 • Post-operative medication: $125 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
