Skylar was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in November. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,900 short.
my sister has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since November. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction 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, Skylar struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Skylar won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $480
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,600
• Travel and lodging for the family: $420

rooting for you, Gabriel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side!
Hope it all works out, Gabriel. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Manchester
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Girona donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
