Surgery fund for Roman: laparoscopic cyst removal in Newcastle
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in August is out of reach without help covering $6,150 of the cost.

Roman was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,150 short.
my husband has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since May. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Roman struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 3 weeks. During that time Roman won't be able to walk without help, 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 $6,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370
• Post-operative medication: $380
• Physiotherapy sessions: $510
• Travel and lodging for the family: $390
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Love from Entebbe.
Wishing you peace, Kinsley. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope things get better soon, Kinsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Newcastle.
