Parramatta
Declan was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Parramatta Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,800 short. my husband has been in and out of Parramatta Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Declan struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Declan 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 $7,800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Post-operative medication: $145 • Physiotherapy sessions: $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $495 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Natalie

  1. Update from Parramatta: the plan for pre-operative tests and imaging is now scheduled. We're at 40% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 39% thanks to 65 of you. I made the first payment toward travel and lodging for the family. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,676 in total) the plan for hospital stay is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
