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

Faith was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Faith struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Faith won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Achieng
