Laparoscopic cyst removal for Adrian: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in January is out of reach without help covering $5,450 of the cost.

Adrian was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in October. The surgeon at Birmingham General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,450 short.
my father has been in and out of Birmingham General Hospital since October. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Adrian struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Adrian won't be able to drive, 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 $5,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,800
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440
• Post-operative medication: $260
• Physiotherapy sessions: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $130
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
