Help Oliver pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Los Angeles Community Hospital
After a cleft palate needing repair, Oliver was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Oliver was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Los Angeles Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,500 short.
my father has been in and out of Los Angeles Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Oliver struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 8 weeks. During that time Oliver won't be able to drive, 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 $5,500 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $600
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,000
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,900
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Walter. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Sheffield
