Antoine was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Limoges Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,400 short. my father has been in and out of Limoges Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Antoine struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Antoine won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Physiotherapy sessions: $660 • Post-operative medication: $320 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Emma
