Surgery fund for Jan: septoplasty in Katowice

In January I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Katowice Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,800, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,400 short. Doctors at Katowice Regional Medical Center told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,800 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $1,400 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 With deep gratitude, Jan
