Zoey's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After severe cataracts in both eyes, Zoey was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Zoey was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in October. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,900 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since October. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Zoey struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Zoey won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400
• Post-operative medication: $360
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Rabat so I could bring a meal
hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Alberta. I'll ask around and let you know
