Enzo was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in January. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,750 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since January. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Enzo struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Enzo won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $650 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $570 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $155 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $220 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Thank you so much.
