After a cleft palate needing repair, Carter was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Carter was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in October. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,150 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since October. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Carter struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Carter won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $5,150 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $810 • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,010 If you're reading this, thank you.
