Surgery fund for Nathan: septoplasty in Toulouse

Nathan was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Toulouse Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,450 short.
my husband has been in and out of Toulouse Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nathan struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Nathan won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
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 $6,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,600
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510
• Post-operative medication: $170
• Physiotherapy sessions: $610
• Travel and lodging for the family: $310
Every share and every dollar helps.
