Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Catherine Hospital
Gabriela needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Catherine Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇦🇷 Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina971 views
In April I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,650, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short.
Doctors at Saint Catherine Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,650 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 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.
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 $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $880
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
