Surgery fund for Jamal: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Half-Way Tree
Jamal needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Half-Way Tree Orthopedic Institute and the family is $1,550 short of the hospital's estimate.

Jamal was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Half-Way Tree Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,550 short.
my son has been in and out of Half-Way Tree Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jamal struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time Jamal won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $230
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $940
• Travel and lodging for the family: $135
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170
• Post-operative medication: $75
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Marcia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Marcia. Looking forward to the next update
Praying for you, Marcia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Half-Way Tree
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hang in there, Marcia. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
