Wow~ I am so sorry to hear about this. I find it sad that there are so many people who need insurance and help who don't have insurance. I know because I had major hip surgery with no insurance and I have to pay over a hundred thousand dollars now.
Get the surgery done no matter what. I don't know how much you make but if you don't make anything or not very much you can get emergency insurance that the state will pay for.
There is another option you may want to look at. There is a health benefits company that I use that offers a discount on all your medical treaments. The company will speak to the hospital and make the cost less saving you thousands of dollars.
E-mail me if your interested in looking into that and I send you some information if you like.
Good luck to you and I hope everything works out.

1. Contact your local fast food chain or restaurant or a place of business where you can host a fundraiser to raise money for this.
2. Contact your local media.
a. radio
b. newspapers
c. local television shows
Let them know what you are planning and why.
And start raising money!
Get the local high schools involved, Girls Scouts, anyone you can think of.
If you host like a small concert, ask for sponsors from local businesses to give money to a good cause.
It's a write off for them.
And if I were go, check again on government assistance, I think you might have overlooked something or maybe look into local non profits who might help you out.
It doesn't hurt to ask people. Set up a website for raising money, sponsored by a local business (costs about $100 if you do it yourself.)
get creative. Set up a lemonade stand if you have to.
The crazier you get, the more the media gets on it.

I don't know about that.
My friend just got treated for bowel cancer.... the tests, doctor's visits, surgery and chemotherapy etc for free.
He's didn't have money or insurance either.
He lives in the San Francisco bay area.
Go to any gov health agency in your state, here in CA it's Medicaid.

all you have to do is go to the hosp. they will treat you and work with mecidaid to get you on it, and they have other programs within the hosp as well.. NO hospital can turn you away for treatment, unless it is a private hospital. So go to your county hosp.
