Emilia was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Winston-Salem University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $14,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $7,250 short. my mother has been in and out of Winston-Salem University Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $14,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Emilia struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Emilia won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,000 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420 • Post-operative medication: $185 • Physiotherapy sessions: $340 • Travel and lodging for the family: $155 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Parker
