Hazel's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a herniated spinal disc, Hazel was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Hazel was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at London Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,800 short.
my wife has been in and out of London Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hazel struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Hazel won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,500
• Travel and lodging for the family: $180
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,300
• Physiotherapy sessions: $640
• Post-operative medication: $180
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

take care. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of London.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Riverside.
