Cameron's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Cameron needs hip replacement surgery at Saint Catherine Hospital and the family is $6,600 short of the hospital's estimate.

Cameron was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,600 short.
my brother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Cameron struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Cameron won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $6,600 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $310
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $300
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,450
• Physiotherapy sessions: $590
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,950
With deep gratitude,

Hope it all works out, Mia. Wishing Cameron a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love, Mia. Shared it with a few friends.
Wishing you peace, Mia. I hope things turn around soon.
