Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Beersheba Orthopedic Institute
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in September is out of reach without help covering $5,150 of the cost.

In June I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Beersheba Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,150 short.
Doctors at Beersheba Orthopedic Institute told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,150 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,350
• Physiotherapy sessions: $660
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270
• Travel and lodging for the family: $220
