Lorenzo's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Lorenzo needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Rome University Hospital and the family is $4,450 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Rome University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,450 short.
Doctors at Rome University Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $4,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,600
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260
• Post-operative medication: $330
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,750
• Physiotherapy sessions: $510
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family, Lorenzo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Coyoacán but we're thinking of you
Hope it all works out, Lorenzo. I hope things turn around soon.
hope this works out for you. Sent it to 16 people at work.
Wishing you the best, Lorenzo. Get well soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this, Lorenzo. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Sylhet this morning. Thinking of Rome.
