Help me pay for valve repair surgery at Jerusalem Orthopedic Institute

A scheduled valve repair surgery in February is out of reach without help covering $3,050 of the cost.

Jerusalem
In October I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Jerusalem Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $3,050 short. Doctors at Jerusalem Orthopedic Institute told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $3,050 goes: • Post-operative medication: $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,500 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
