Surgery fund for Esteban: septoplasty in Zapopan

In July I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,400, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $2,700 short. Doctors at Saint Joseph Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $2,700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,200 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $970 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $220 • Travel and lodging for the family: $95 Every share and every dollar helps.
