Surgery fund for Ji-ho: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Los Angeles

Ji-ho was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,050 short. my husband has been in and out of Los Angeles University Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ji-ho struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Ji-ho won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,370 Thank you for reading my story.
