Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Jodhpur Regional Medical Center

In July I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Jodhpur Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Jodhpur Regional Medical Center told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 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 $850 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $220 • Post-operative medication: $75 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $485 Thank you so much.
