Samuel's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Samuel was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in September. The surgeon at Santa Rosa University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,300 short. my brother has been in and out of Santa Rosa University Hospital since September. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Samuel struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Samuel won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $570 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
