Brielle was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in January. The surgeon at London University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,750 short. my mother has been in and out of London University Hospital since January. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Brielle 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. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Brielle 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 $5,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,800 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,690 Thanks for reading all this. - Arianna

Updates from Arianna

  1. Thank you all. We're at 33% now ($1,922). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,098 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($795 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
