Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Takashi: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $1,450 of the cost.

Takashi was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Kawasaki University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,450 short.
my son has been in and out of Kawasaki University Hospital since July. 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 $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Takashi struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Takashi won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,100
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $185
• Travel and lodging for the family: $165
With deep gratitude,
