Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Thiruvananthapuram Regional Medical Center
After a benign brain tumor, Runa was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In October I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Thiruvananthapuram Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $690, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $550 short.
Doctors at Thiruvananthapuram Regional Medical Center told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $690 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 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.
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 $550 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $490
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Runa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Runa. Wishing Runa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bakersfield.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 4 people at work. God bless
