Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Ella: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in February is out of reach without help covering $7,200 of the cost.

Ella was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in November. The surgeon at Tacoma University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $14,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $7,200 short.
my mother has been in and out of Tacoma University Hospital since November. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $14,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ella 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Ella 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 $7,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $750
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $950
• Travel and lodging for the family: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
