Help Liton pay for valve repair surgery at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

Liton was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in June. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $500 short. my brother has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since June. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Liton struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Liton won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
