Help me pay for valve repair surgery at Düsseldorf Community Hospital

In April I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Düsseldorf Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,850, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $2,000 short. Doctors at Düsseldorf Community Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,850 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent 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 work a full shift 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 $2,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $550 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,000 • Travel and lodging for the family: $450 Every share and every dollar helps.
