Help Sarah pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Birmingham General Hospital
After a benign brain tumor, Sarah was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sarah was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at Birmingham General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,350 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Birmingham General Hospital since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sarah struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Sarah won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $320
• Physiotherapy sessions: $610
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from La Plata
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Moscow.
Wishing Sarah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Mysuru this morning. Thinking of Birmingham.
