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

After a large ovarian cyst, Emeka was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In April I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Bonny Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Bonny Orthopedic Institute told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $185 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Thank you so much.
