Help Katherine pay for gallbladder removal at Montgomery Community Hospital
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Katherine was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Katherine was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in October. The surgeon at Montgomery Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,350 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Montgomery Community Hospital since October. 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 $4,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Katherine struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Katherine won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,600
• Physiotherapy sessions: $900
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360
• Travel and lodging for the family: $490
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing Katherine a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
