Sabine was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in May. The surgeon at Braunschweig General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,150 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Braunschweig General Hospital since May. 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 $8,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sabine 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Sabine won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,150 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,970
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Marcel
Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($300). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward post-operative medication.

Thinking of you and your family, Marcel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 13 people at work.
You're not alone. Get well soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
