Help Tetiana pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Saint Luke Hospital

Tetiana was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,650 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tetiana struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Tetiana won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,650 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $630 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $680 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Post-operative medication: $90 Thanks for being kind about this.
