Ananya was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in April. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since April. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ananya struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Ananya won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Glad we found this place.
