Zubby's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Zubby was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in February. The surgeon at Badagry Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short. my father has been in and out of Badagry Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zubby 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Zubby won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
