Surgery fund for Philippe: gallbladder removal in Boulogne-Billancourt

Philippe was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in December. The surgeon at Boulogne-Billancourt Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,250 short. my brother has been in and out of Boulogne-Billancourt Regional Medical Center since December. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Philippe struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Philippe won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550 • Post-operative medication: $135 • Physiotherapy sessions: $565 With deep gratitude, Jean
