Lucas's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Lucas needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at London General Hospital and the family is $2,200 short of the hospital's estimate.

Lucas was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at London General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,150, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,200 short.
my husband has been in and out of London General Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Lucas struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 7 weeks. During that time Lucas won't be able to drive, 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 $2,200 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Cora. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Manila.
