Anderson's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Anderson was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Campinas Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,200 short.
Doctors at Campinas Community Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,400 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $890
• Physiotherapy sessions: $220
• Travel and lodging for the family: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Anderson. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Coimbatore but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Rooting for you, Anderson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Anderson. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Columbus
