Lemlem was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in June. The surgeon at Mekelle University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $810, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mekelle University Hospital since June. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $810 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lemlem struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 3 weeks. During that time Lemlem won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Post-operative medication: $60 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Good luck, Yodit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
