Evelyn's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Evelyn was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Leicester General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,650 short. my mother has been in and out of Leicester General Hospital since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Evelyn struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Evelyn won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $530 • Post-operative medication: $240 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,710 Thanks for reading all this.
