Terry's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled septoplasty in July is out of reach without help covering $3,200 of the cost.

In April I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $3,200 short.
Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a care assistant, 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 care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $3,200 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $120
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,630
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Terry. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Spokane but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Thinking of London
Wishing you the best, Terry. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Manila
