After endometriosis requiring surgery, Luís was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Luís was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in November. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,250 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since November. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Luís struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Luís won't be able to drive, 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 $2,250 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,050 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $795 Every share and every dollar helps.

        So sorry you're going through this, Luciana. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
