Ronan was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Cork General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,000 short. my brother has been in and out of Cork General Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ronan 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. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Ronan won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $440 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,700 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,000 • Post-operative medication: $380 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $480 With deep gratitude, Liam
