Jessica was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Nuremberg University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,450 short. my mother has been in and out of Nuremberg University Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jessica struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Jessica won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $6,450 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $410 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $590 • Post-operative medication: $310 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,790 Every share and every dollar helps. - Ludwig

  • Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

    • Rooting for you, Ludwig. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • good luck, Ludwig. Shared this with my family. God bless

        • You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Taguig.
