John was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Ann Arbor Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $8,500 short.
my husband has been in and out of Ann Arbor Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, John struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 John won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $8,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,800
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $530
• Travel and lodging for the family: $390
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Faith. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Badagry.
Thinking of you, Faith. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Varanasi.
hang in there, Faith. Hope you get there. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Ann Arbor.
Keep going, Faith. Wishing John a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
