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

In April I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,850, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,300 short. Doctors at Saint Catherine Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,850 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $175 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $990 Thanks for reading all this.
