Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Saint Luke Hospital

In December I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $250 short. Doctors at Saint Luke Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $250 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Post-operative medication: $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Priscila
