Willem's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In January I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Saint Catherine Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 7 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 $800 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Willem
