Hesti's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Hesti was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in November. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since November. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hesti struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Hesti won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Post-operative medication: $15 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
