Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Manuela: covering what insurance won't

A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in April is out of reach without help covering $2,100 of the cost.

Campinas
In January I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Campinas Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $2,100 short. Doctors at Campinas Orthopedic Institute told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,650 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $2,100 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $540 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,190 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Manuela
