Laparoscopic cyst removal for Jadwiga: covering what insurance won't
Jadwiga needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Luke Hospital and the family is $3,250 short of the hospital's estimate.

Jadwiga was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,250 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since June. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jadwiga struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Jadwiga won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,350
• Physiotherapy sessions: $130
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,715
Thank you so much.

Is hospital stay (4 nights) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Stay strong, Marcin. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jadwiga?
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Jadwiga a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from London.
