London
In July I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,450, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $3,100 short. Doctors at London Community Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,450 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $3,100 goes: • Post-operative medication: $260 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,400 • Travel and lodging for the family: $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $520 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  2. Small update. $1,246 so far, we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($913 in total) the plan for physiotherapy sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
