Surgery fund for Galit: gallbladder removal in Tel Aviv

Galit was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in December. The surgeon at Tel Aviv University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Tel Aviv University Hospital since December. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Galit struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Galit won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200 • Physiotherapy sessions: $450 Every share and every dollar helps.
