Miles's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a herniated spinal disc, Miles was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Miles was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Greensboro Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,550 short.
my son has been in and out of Greensboro Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Miles 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Miles 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 $4,550 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $220
• Post-operative medication: $320
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $560
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
