Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Laredo Community Hospital

In April I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Laredo Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $8,200 short. Doctors at Laredo Community Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $8,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,450 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,800 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Physiotherapy sessions: $920 • Travel and lodging for the family: $440 Thank you for reading my story. - Ellie
