Surgery fund for Hugo: valve repair surgery in Brest

Hugo needs valve repair surgery at Brest University Hospital and the family is $4,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

Brest
In July I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Brest University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $4,100 short. Doctors at Brest University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,100 goes: • Post-operative medication: $250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,000 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,850 Glad we found this place.
