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

Brenda was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in December. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,900 short. my mother has been in and out of London Community Hospital since December. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Brenda struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 12 weeks. During that time Brenda won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,350 • Travel and lodging for the family: $280 • Post-operative medication: $160 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $610 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Liliana
