Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Dar es Salaam Regional Medical Center

In June I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Dar es Salaam Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $400, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $300 short. Doctors at Dar es Salaam Regional Medical Center told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 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. 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 $300 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $215 Thank you so much. - Grace
