Océane was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Lille Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,750 short. my mother has been in and out of Lille Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Océane struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Océane won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. 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 $4,750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $370 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $890 • Post-operative medication: $320 I hope life is good to you. - Jacques
