Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

In June I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,200 short. Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner 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 work a full shift 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Glad we found this place.
