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

In March I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,550 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
