Christian was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in March. The surgeon at Los Angeles Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $7,750 short. my father has been in and out of Los Angeles Community Hospital since March. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Christian struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Christian won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $7,750 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $860 • Post-operative medication: $430 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            Stay strong, Jade. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

                    Best of luck, Jade. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Miguel de Tucumán.
