San Diego

Ziad was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at San Diego General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,250 short. my father has been in and out of San Diego General Hospital since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ziad struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Ziad won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,250 goes: • Post-operative medication: $470 • Travel and lodging for the family: $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
