Surgery fund for Everett: valve repair surgery in Greensboro
A scheduled valve repair surgery in August is out of reach without help covering $5,300 of the cost.

Everett was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Greensboro General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,300 short.
my husband has been in and out of Greensboro General Hospital since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Everett struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Everett won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $290
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,900
• Post-operative medication: $410
• Physiotherapy sessions: $350

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Greensboro.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about travel and lodging for the family, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Sending good thoughts, Isabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
