Yasemin's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In September I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,450, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,850 short. Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,450 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $1,850 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $720 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $860 Thank you for reading my story. - Yasemin
