Bello was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $800 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bello struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Bello won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. 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 $800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $605 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
