Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Saint Matthew Hospital

In August I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital 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 $9,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $6,850 short. Doctors at Saint Matthew Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 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 $6,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,900 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $490 • Post-operative medication: $450 • Physiotherapy sessions: $410 • Travel and lodging for the family: $450 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Denise
