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

Sebastian was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,900 short. my husband has been in and out of Los Angeles University Hospital since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sebastian struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Sebastian won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $6,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,900 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Post-operative medication: $175 • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 • Travel and lodging for the family: $215 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
