Surgery fund for Avery: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Los Angeles
Avery needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Saint Francis Hospital and the family is $4,200 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,564 views
In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $4,200 short.
Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $4,200 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $480
• Physiotherapy sessions: $800
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,920
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
