Surgery fund for Awino: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Embakasi
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Awino was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In May I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $870, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $650 short.
Doctors at Saint Joseph Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $870 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $650 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $565
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Embakasi.
Hope it all works out, Awino. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending love, Awino. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Awino!
Sure. The biggest one is post-operative medication, $40. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope August is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Hang in there. Get well soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Embakasi
Wishing you the best, Awino. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Zanzibar City so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up
Good luck, Awino. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Seoul.
praying for you, Awino. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
