Surgery fund for Zoey: a craniotomy in Nashville
Zoey needs a craniotomy at Nashville Regional Medical Center and the family is $4,200 short of the hospital's estimate.

In June I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Nashville Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,200 short.
Doctors at Nashville Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $350
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260
