Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Shubra Community Hospital

After a cleft palate needing repair, Walid was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In April I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Shubra Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Shubra Community Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,150 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $800 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $330 Glad we found this place. - Walid

Updates from Walid

  1. Thank you all. We're at 59% now ($472). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Update from Shubra: the plan for surgeon and anesthesia fees is now scheduled. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
