Ariana was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,400 short. my mother has been in and out of London Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ariana 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Ariana won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550 • Physiotherapy sessions: $700 • Travel and lodging for the family: $125 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,735 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of London

            Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
