Mason's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After gallstones with repeated infections, Mason was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Mason was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Manukau Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,400 short.
my father has been in and out of Manukau Community Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,450 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Mason struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 5 weeks. During that time Mason won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,500
• Physiotherapy sessions: $330
If you're reading this, thank you.

Praying for you, Skylar. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Belfast this morning. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Gwagwalada.
Take care, Skylar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 29 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
