Laparoscopic cyst removal for Nova: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in October is out of reach without help covering $6,150 of the cost.

Nova was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Sydney Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,150 short.
my mother has been in and out of Sydney Community 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 $8,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nova struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Nova won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $6,150 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,000
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400
• Travel and lodging for the family: $330
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420
