Zahra's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In December I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $420, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $250 short. Doctors at Saint Luke Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $420 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Zahra
