Surgery fund for Daniel: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Adama

In May I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $900 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Daniel
