Surgery fund for Clémence: laparoscopic cyst removal in Brest

Clémence was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,150 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Clémence struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Clémence 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 $1,150 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $680 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sébastien
