Julian's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Julian was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in June. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,750 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since June. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Julian struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 3 weeks. During that time Julian won't be able to walk without help, 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 $5,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,250 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,600 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 • Post-operative medication: $430 • Physiotherapy sessions: $900 • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
