Laparoscopic cyst removal for Jacob: covering what insurance won't

Jacob was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in November. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $7,650 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since November. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jacob 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 10 weeks. During that time Jacob won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $7,650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $750 • Post-operative medication: $420 • Physiotherapy sessions: $310 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 I hope life is good to you.
