Taylor's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Taylor needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Dallas University Hospital and the family is $3,350 short of the hospital's estimate.

Taylor was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in October. The surgeon at Dallas University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,350 short.
my wife has been in and out of Dallas University Hospital since October. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Taylor struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Taylor 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 $3,350 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $260
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
With deep gratitude,
Marcus

Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Riverside so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Marcus. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Dallas.
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 6 people at work.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Madrid
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope January is when things finally get easier.
Rooting for you, Marcus. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
