Cora was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Bristol Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Bristol Community Hospital since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Cora struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 10 weeks. During that time Cora won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $360 • Physiotherapy sessions: $750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - John

  • Wishing you peace, John. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.

    • Keep going. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Chiang Mai but we're thinking of you. Love from Chiang Mai.

      • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Oakland.
