Dorcas's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Dorcas was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $690, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $690 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dorcas struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Dorcas won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $280 • Post-operative medication: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 I hope life is good to you.
