Natalie was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Mandurah Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,900 short. my wife has been in and out of Mandurah Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Natalie struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Natalie 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 $6,900 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,750 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 • Physiotherapy sessions: $430 • Post-operative medication: $370 Every share and every dollar helps. - Elijah
