Surgery fund for Kennedy: gallbladder removal in Coventry
A scheduled gallbladder removal in August is out of reach without help covering $6,450 of the cost.

In May I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Coventry General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $6,450 short.
Doctors at Coventry General Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $6,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,150
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,850
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
• Post-operative medication: $270
• Physiotherapy sessions: $480
• Travel and lodging for the family: $380
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Coventry
wishing Kennedy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Athens
