In May I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Latina University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $4,550 short. Doctors at Latina University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 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 $4,550 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,150 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 I hope life is good to you.
