Help Ezekiel pay for gallbladder removal at Saint Elizabeth Hospital
After gallstones with repeated infections, Ezekiel was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Ezekiel was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in September. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,750 short.
my husband has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since September. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ezekiel struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Ezekiel won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $290
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,550
• Physiotherapy sessions: $560
