Surgery fund for William: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Birmingham
William needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Birmingham Regional Medical Center and the family is $6,900 short of the hospital's estimate.

William was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at Birmingham Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,900 short.
my father has been in and out of Birmingham Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, William struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time William won't be able to drive, 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 $6,900 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $460
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,500
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $690
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Lexington
Stay strong, Anna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending good thoughts, Anna. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Anna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you, Anna. Shared it with a few friends.
Hope it all works out, Anna. Wishing William a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Campinas
Stay strong, Anna. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from San Antonio.
