Surgery fund for Levi: laparoscopic cyst removal in Santa Fe
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in September is out of reach without help covering $6,450 of the cost.

Levi was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Santa Fe University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,450 short.
my husband has been in and out of Santa Fe University Hospital since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Levi struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 7 weeks. During that time Levi won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,750
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $520
• Post-operative medication: $320
• Physiotherapy sessions: $860
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300

Take care, Megan. I hope things turn around soon. After 25 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Stay strong, Megan. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Megan. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. All the best.
