Help Emilia pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Wiesbaden University Hospital
After an aortic valve defect, Emilia was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Emilia was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Wiesbaden University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,250 short.
my mother has been in and out of Wiesbaden University Hospital since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Emilia struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Emilia won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $460
Glad we found this place.
