After endometriosis requiring surgery, Felicia was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Felicia was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in February. The surgeon at Madina Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,200 short. my mother has been in and out of Madina Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Felicia struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Felicia won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $380 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Akosua
