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

Popy was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in December. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since December. 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 $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Popy struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Popy won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $440 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Sajib
