Zbigniew's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled a partial thyroidectomy in August is out of reach without help covering $2,150 of the cost.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland2,328 views
Zbigniew was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Warsaw Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,150 short.
my father has been in and out of Warsaw Community Hospital since May. 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 $3,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Zbigniew struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Zbigniew won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $800
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Anna. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Warsaw.
Rooting for you, Anna. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zbigniew.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. hospital stay (5 nights) is the biggest at $800.
Praying for you, Anna. Hope you get there.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Fresno
