Parker's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Parker was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In December I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,750, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $3,950 short.
Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,750 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $3,950 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $720
• Physiotherapy sessions: $410
• Post-operative medication: $190
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,630
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Niterói so I could bring a meal!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 9 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Jakarta Selatan
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Hope it all works out, Parker. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. Thinking of Corpus Christi.
