Ho
In September I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Ho Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $730, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Ho Orthopedic Institute told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $730 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 climb stairs 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $95 โ€ข Hospital stay (2 nights): $380 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Beatrice
