Help Bhavna pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Saint Francis Hospital

Bhavna was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes 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, Bhavna struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 10 weeks. During that time Bhavna won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,100 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Shivam
