Help me pay for a craniotomy at Swansea Orthopedic Institute
Tyler needs a craniotomy at Swansea Orthopedic Institute and the family is $7,650 short of the hospital's estimate.

In May I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Swansea Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $15,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $7,650 short.
Doctors at Swansea Orthopedic Institute told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $15,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $7,650 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,250
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430
• Post-operative medication: $180
• Physiotherapy sessions: $570
• Travel and lodging for the family: $220
I hope life is good to you.
