Julian's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a hernia that has become strangulated, Julian was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Mississauga University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,750, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $6,600 short.
Doctors at Mississauga University Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $6,600 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $450
• Post-operative medication: $270
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,200
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,680
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Erie this morning.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Kumasi.
Wishing you peace, Julian. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Keep going, Julian. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
thinking of you and your family, Julian. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Julian. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Julian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Manukau but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Mississauga!
