Isaac was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Tema Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my father has been in and out of Tema Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Isaac struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Isaac won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $535 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
