Help Clara pay for gallbladder removal at Phoenix General Hospital

Clara was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Phoenix General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,950 short. my wife has been in and out of Phoenix General Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Clara struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Clara 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 $5,950 goes: • Post-operative medication: $430 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950 • Physiotherapy sessions: $740 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $480 If you're reading this, thank you.
