Help Jocelyn pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Philadelphia University Hospital

Jocelyn was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Philadelphia University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $7,300 short. my daughter has been in and out of Philadelphia University Hospital since January. 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 $10,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jocelyn 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Jocelyn won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $7,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,300 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,950 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $590 • Post-operative medication: $270 • Physiotherapy sessions: $790 • Travel and lodging for the family: $400 Thank you for reading my story. - Aurora
