Brain tumor surgery

Donation protected
In April of the this year after numerous appointments with doctor due to hearing loss in my left ear and After an MRI it was determined that i have Vestibular Schwannoma which is a tumor on my brain.  It is on the left side and a little larger then a golf ball.  That has caused the nerve that lets sound go from my ear to brain to be damaged. 
I will be having brain surgery in Wichita within the next few weeks and desperately need help with expenses.  i do have insurance but they dont cover the special hearing aids i will require after surgery.  I will lose 100% of the hearing in my left ear and i have already been 70-75% deaf in my right ear since i was 12.  The cheapest hearing aid with the special transmitter for the complete deaf ear runs in the ballpark of $4000. 
After surgery i will be required to stay in the hospital for at least 5days if not longer.  Depending on complications i may need to go to rehab to learn how to balance myself to walk etc.  I would like to be able to comfortably go in to this process knowing i have enough to cover the hearing aids and travel expenses to and from Wichita for countless followup appointment.  Doctor also said i will not be able to go back to the cafe to help until maybe up to 3months depending on my recovery.
I know this time of year everyone is busy and financially everyone will not be able to help.  I understand this completely.  Any little amount would help or if you could share this and pray i would appreciate that too.
Thanks everyone for your constant support and words of encouragement i have already recieved.
