In March I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at León Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,700, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $2,600 short. Doctors at León Community Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $2,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $950 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 • Post-operative medication: $120 • Physiotherapy sessions: $260 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Thank you for reading my story.

      So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Accra donated after I showed her your page.
