Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Shreveport University Hospital
After gallstones with repeated infections, Hà was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Shreveport University 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 $14,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $8,350 short.
Doctors at Shreveport University Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $14,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 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 $8,350 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $170
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,350
• Travel and lodging for the family: $370
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love, Hà. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Hà. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Istanbul.
