After a large ovarian cyst, Brigitte was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Casablanca
Brigitte was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Casablanca General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short. my wife has been in and out of Casablanca General Hospital since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Brigitte struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 6 weeks. During that time Brigitte won't be able to drive, 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 $1,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $840 • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Post-operative medication: $20 Thank you for reading my story. - Maxime
