Caroline was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in March. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since March. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Caroline 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Caroline won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. 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 $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 With deep gratitude, Lucy
