Parker's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Parker was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in March. The surgeon at Bakersfield Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,950 short. my father has been in and out of Bakersfield Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Parker struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Parker won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $4,950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $400 • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Bella
