Kamal's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Kamal was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in September. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since September. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kamal 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Kamal 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 $1,150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $470 • Post-operative medication: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
