Help Fernando pay for septoplasty at Madrid Community Hospital

Fernando was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in April. The surgeon at Madrid Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,050 short. my father has been in and out of Madrid Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Fernando struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Fernando won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,050 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $400 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
