Grayson's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Grayson was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Riverside General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my son has been in and out of Riverside General Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Grayson struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Grayson won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 • Post-operative medication: $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 Thanks for being kind about this.
