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

Pandu was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,000 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since May. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pandu 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 6 weeks. During that time Pandu won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $650 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $175 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Muhammad
