Jean's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a benign brain tumor, Jean was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In September I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Nîmes Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $5,850 short.
Doctors at Nîmes Orthopedic Institute told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $5,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,650
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420
• Post-operative medication: $250
• Physiotherapy sessions: $510
• Travel and lodging for the family: $220
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
