Surgery fund for Silas: laparoscopic cyst removal in Auckland
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in July is out of reach without help covering $6,950 of the cost.

Silas was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in May. The surgeon at Auckland Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,950 short.
my son has been in and out of Auckland Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Silas 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Silas won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $6,950 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,400
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,320
Thank you so much.
