Help Addison pay for a craniotomy at Vancouver Community Hospital

Addison was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Vancouver Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,750 short. my mother has been in and out of Vancouver Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Addison 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 7 weeks. During that time Addison won't be able to drive, 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 $6,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,250 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $600 • Post-operative medication: $290 • Physiotherapy sessions: $420 • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
