Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center

In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 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 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Gemma
