Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Warren Community Hospital
Yue needs a partial thyroidectomy at Warren Community Hospital and the family is $7,600 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Warren Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $12,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $7,600 short.
Doctors at Warren Community Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $12,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $7,600 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,700
• Travel and lodging for the family: $510
• Physiotherapy sessions: $580
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
