Surgery fund for Ebba: a craniotomy in Stockholm

A scheduled a craniotomy in October is out of reach without help covering $5,150 of the cost.

Stockholm
In August I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Stockholm Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $5,150 short. Doctors at Stockholm Orthopedic Institute told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $5,150 goes: • Post-operative medication: $400 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $300 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,250 Thanks for being kind about this.
