Help Caroline pay for septoplasty at Saint Matthew Hospital
Caroline needs septoplasty at Saint Matthew Hospital and the family is $5,050 short of the hospital's estimate.

Caroline was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in June. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,050 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since June. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Caroline 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Caroline 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 $5,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360
• Post-operative medication: $310
• Physiotherapy sessions: $390
• Travel and lodging for the family: $340
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Cooper. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope you get there. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Kansas City.
Take care, Cooper. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Keep going, Cooper. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
