Parker was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Wellington Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,650 short. my husband has been in and out of Wellington Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Parker 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 Parker won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $2,650 goes: • Post-operative medication: $320 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,000 • Physiotherapy sessions: $330 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Silas

    thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal.
