Surgery fund for Ugo: septoplasty in Rome
A scheduled septoplasty in January is out of reach without help covering $7,050 of the cost.

In October I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Rome Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $14,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $7,050 short.
Doctors at Rome Community Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $14,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $7,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,800
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340
• Post-operative medication: $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $690
• Travel and lodging for the family: $230
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Ugo. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Rome.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Aurangabad.
