Help Walter pay for valve repair surgery at Manchester Orthopedic Institute

Walter was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Manchester Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,350 short. my son has been in and out of Manchester Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Walter struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Walter 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 $3,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150 • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 • Post-operative medication: $270 • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
