Help Isaac pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Dallas University Hospital
After a large ovarian cyst, Isaac was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Isaac was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Dallas University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $8,750 short.
my father has been in and out of Dallas University Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Isaac 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 6 weeks. During that time Isaac won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $8,750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,200
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $600
• Travel and lodging for the family: $310
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
