Surgery fund for Colette: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Nice

Colette was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in May. The surgeon at Nice Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,600 short. my mother has been in and out of Nice Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Colette struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Colette won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $900 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Post-operative medication: $310 • Physiotherapy sessions: $780 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Serge
