A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $6,950 of the cost.

In August I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Saint Joseph 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 $10,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $6,950 short. Doctors at Saint Joseph Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer 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 work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,650 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240 • Post-operative medication: $350 • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $470 Glad we found this place. - Ludwig

    Take care, Ludwig. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

        You're not alone, Ludwig. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
