Faith was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in November. The surgeon at Syracuse General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Syracuse General Hospital since November. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Faith struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Faith won't be able to walk without help, 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 $4,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,250 • Post-operative medication: $290 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Stephanie

    Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care

        Rooting for you, Stephanie. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Syracuse.
