Emma's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a hernia that has become strangulated, Emma was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In May I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Munich University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,750, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $7,100 short.
Doctors at Munich University Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $7,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460
• Post-operative medication: $240
• Physiotherapy sessions: $530
• Travel and lodging for the family: $220
Thank you so much.
