Esteban's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Esteban was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in February. The surgeon at Boston General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,550 short. my father has been in and out of Boston General Hospital since February. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Esteban 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Esteban 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 $4,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650 • Post-operative medication: $430 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,550 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $540 I hope life is good to you.
