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

In July I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Cologne Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $5,050 short. Doctors at Cologne Regional Medical Center told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $5,050 goes: • Post-operative medication: $200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $200 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,000 • Physiotherapy sessions: $770 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,880 Thanks for reading all this.
