Paloma was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in December. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,250 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since December. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Paloma struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Paloma won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $760 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $210 Thank you for reading my story.
