Help Véronique pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute
Véronique needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute and the family is $4,500 short of the hospital's estimate.

Véronique was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in February. The surgeon at Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,500 short.
my mother has been in and out of Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Véronique struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Véronique won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,100
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $150
Thank you so much.
