Surgery fund for Dana: laparoscopic cyst removal in Tel Aviv

Dana was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,950, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,700 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since August. 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 $4,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dana 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Dana 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 $3,700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
