Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Heliopolis University Hospital

In March I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Heliopolis University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,200 short. Doctors at Heliopolis University Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Thank you for reading my story. - Ghassan
