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

Frank was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Frankfurt University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short. my father has been in and out of Frankfurt University Hospital since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Frank struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Frank won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 • Post-operative medication: $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $300 If you're reading this, thank you.
