Surgery fund for Mazen: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in 6th of October City
After gallstones with repeated infections, Mazen was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In March I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at 6th of October City General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $250, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $200 short.
Doctors at 6th of October City General Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $200 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going, Mazen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending love, Mazen. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
hang in there, Mazen. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
sending strength, Mazen. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
