Satish's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Satish was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Satish struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 8 weeks. During that time Satish won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 Thank you so much. - Neelam
