Surgery fund for Michael: gallbladder removal in Spanish Town

In August I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Spanish Town General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,950, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,550 short. Doctors at Spanish Town General Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,950 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $1,550 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $520 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
