Aria was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in May. The surgeon at London Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,150 short. my daughter has been in and out of London Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement 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, Aria struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Aria won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,900 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 • Post-operative medication: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $750 • Travel and lodging for the family: $420 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Sending love, Eleanor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
