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

A scheduled septoplasty in October is out of reach without help covering $6,650 of the cost.

In July I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Leeds General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $6,650 short. Doctors at Leeds General Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,000 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 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $440 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,700 • Post-operative medication: $260 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,760 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
