Help Valentina pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

Valentina was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in April. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,000 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since April. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Valentina struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 5 weeks. During that time Valentina won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,000 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $310 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440 Thanks for being kind about this. - Daniel
