Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,752 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Burnaby Regional Medical Center. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $3,478 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($2,382). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

How is Josephine doing now?
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Nashik
Get well soon. Take care!
what exactly is the $9,350 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Burnaby Regional Medical Center comes first ($620) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Burnaby
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Burnaby.
Thank you. If you're in Burnaby I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
