Help Fund Benson's Surgery on March 5th 2021

Donation protected






Benson is a 6 year old little boy who lives in Sandpoint, ID and is currently in Kindergarten. Benson is in need of a Surgery next month, and our insurance only provides partial coverage (70%-80%) for this, after a $3,000 out of pocket deductible is met first. I created this to ask for some help paying this $3,000 Out of Pocket Deductible.

A little back story on Benson, he has had multiple surgeries in his short 6 years of life, including a  Nephroplasty at 4 months old (his longest most difficult surgery that lasted 6 hours and took 1 week in the hospital to recover), Ear tube placement at 18 months, and Tonsillectomy/Adenoidectomy at 3 years. Benson has been a pretty healthy child in the recent 3 years of his life, He has made many little friends attending Pre-School at Superior, NIC's Headstart program, and now Kindergarten. Benson is very thoughtful and caring for his friends, he is gentle, sweet, and empathetic. 

Recently Benson was having  painful episodes when urinating, having had a surgery 5 years ago on his left kidney, we went to see his Pediatric Urologist. We were informed that Benson has a severe phimosis and is needing surgical resection to prevent further pain when urinating, or infection from forming. This surgery is already scheduled and will take place at Providence at Sacred Heart in Spokane, WA on March 5th 2021. This will be our 3rd time driving down there since February and is a 2 hour drive each way for us [currently living in Sandpoint, ID]. We have called and requested estimates from our insurance [Blue Cross Of Idaho] and it is looking like we will be required to pay a $3,000 out of pocket deductible, along with the %20 - %30 un covered "co insurance"  portion of his surgery (we don't have a co insurance, I never knew we even needed one). We had gotten off state assistance about 3 years ago, but when I learned he needed another surgery I applied for Idaho Medicaid for Benson hoping we would be within the income range with the recent expansion, but we were $4 over the limit. Anything that you can donate will help us, and will be appreciated. Thank you for reading.
