Surgery fund for Priya: septoplasty in London

In June I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at London Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $5,200 short. Doctors at London Regional Medical Center told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $5,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $620 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 Thank you for reading my story. - Priya
