Help me pay for septoplasty at Manchester Community Hospital

Gregory needs septoplasty at Manchester Community Hospital and the family is $5,450 short of the hospital's estimate.

In June I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Manchester Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $5,450 short. Doctors at Manchester Community Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a care assistant, 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 care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 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 $5,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Post-operative medication: $180 • Physiotherapy sessions: $710 • Travel and lodging for the family: $420 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Gregory

Updates from Gregory

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 78% funded and the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,604 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
