Help Alyssa pay for spinal decompression surgery at London Orthopedic Institute
After an aortic valve defect, Alyssa was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Alyssa was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in October. The surgeon at London Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,650 short.
my sister has been in and out of London Orthopedic Institute since October. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Alyssa struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Alyssa won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $3,650 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $190
• Physiotherapy sessions: $590
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,870
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Taylor
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,150 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
