Surgery fund for Isaiah: gallbladder removal in Bronx
Isaiah needs gallbladder removal at Bronx General Hospital and the family is $4,100 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 New York, United States3,236 views
In December I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Bronx General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $4,100 short.
Doctors at Bronx General Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver 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 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 $4,100 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $670
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,090
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Isaiah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Good luck, Isaiah. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
So sorry you're going through this, Isaiah. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Isaiah. Get well soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
