Andrzej's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In May I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Kraków Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Kraków Orthopedic Institute told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $1,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Andrzej
