Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It really depends upon where you live. if you live in the US he may be able to qualify for emergency medicaid that would cover the surgery. The best thing to do to help him is to talk to the social workers that are in the hospital. No matter where you live, they should be able to help you find a way to get some coverage for him.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
