A craniotomy for Quinn: covering what insurance won't

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Quinn was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Quinn was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at Manchester Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,050 short. my wife has been in and out of Manchester Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Quinn struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Quinn won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,050 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $630 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $300 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,740 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Jayden

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($4,122 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($1,740). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and I made the first payment toward pre-operative tests and imaging.
