Jack's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Jack needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Saint Elizabeth Hospital and the family is $7,350 short of the hospital's estimate.

Jack was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $7,350 short.
my son has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jack struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 4 weeks. During that time Jack won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $7,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,350
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450
• Post-operative medication: $195
• Physiotherapy sessions: $610
• Travel and lodging for the family: $345
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon, Landon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Landon. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Galway.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

Praying for you, Landon. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Love from Üsküdar.
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Peoria so I could bring a meal. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this, Landon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
