Surgery fund for Sophie: septoplasty in Mohammedia

In August I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Mohammedia Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $730, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Mohammedia Community Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $730 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer 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 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 $550 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $470 • Post-operative medication: $25 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Sophie
