Awa's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Awa needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Amsterdam University Hospital and the family is $4,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Awa was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in March. The surgeon at Amsterdam University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,000 short.
my mother has been in and out of Amsterdam University Hospital since March. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Awa struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Awa won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,000 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $470
• Travel and lodging for the family: $360
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,170
Thank you so much.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Awa.
Stay strong, Abdoulaye. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Riverside.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 36 people at work. Blessings.
How is Awa doing now?
Best of luck, Abdoulaye. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. Greetings from San Jose.
Thinking of you and your family, Abdoulaye. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Awa?
so sorry you're going through this, Abdoulaye. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Toulouse so I could bring a meal!
good luck, Abdoulaye. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Rooting for you, Abdoulaye. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update.
You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
