In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Birmingham University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,800, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,400 short. Doctors at Birmingham University Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,800 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 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. 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 $1,400 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320 • Travel and lodging for the family: $390 • Physiotherapy sessions: $520 • Post-operative medication: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Aiden

        thinking of you, Aiden. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

            Wishing Aiden a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Akron so I could bring a meal.
