Help Vincent pay for gallbladder removal at Madina General Hospital
Vincent needs gallbladder removal at Madina General Hospital and the family is $850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Vincent was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Madina General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short.
my father has been in and out of Madina General Hospital since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Vincent struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Vincent won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $320
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing Vincent a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Kharkiv donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
How is Vincent doing now?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Pasig.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Madina
Thank you. If you're in Madina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this, Ama. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 21 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Syracuse but we're thinking of you.
Good luck, Ama. Shared this with my family.
sending love, Ama. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Ama. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Madina
