Isaiah was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in January. The surgeon at Fresno General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,800 short. my son has been in and out of Fresno General Hospital since January. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Isaiah struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Isaiah won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $4,800 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $810 • Travel and lodging for the family: $460 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,830 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Wishing Isaiah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

      good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Fresno

        Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Tijuana
