Help Usman pay for spinal decompression surgery at Saint Matthew Hospital

Usman was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in March. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since March. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Usman struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Usman won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $460 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
