Help Mensah pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Saint Joseph Hospital

Mensah was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,300 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mensah struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Mensah won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $540 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 Thanks for reading all this. - Papa
