Help me pay for gallbladder removal at San Francisco University Hospital

In September I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at San Francisco University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $5,000 short. Doctors at San Francisco University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 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 $5,000 goes: • Post-operative medication: $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $470 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,250 I hope life is good to you.
