Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Saint Francis Hospital

In May I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $3,300 short. Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider 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 walk without help 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 $3,300 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $220 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,750 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $900 • Physiotherapy sessions: $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170 Thanks for being kind about this.
