Help Cora pay for a craniotomy at Gatineau Orthopedic Institute

Cora was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in June. The surgeon at Gatineau Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,850 short. my sister has been in and out of Gatineau Orthopedic Institute since June. 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 $9,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Cora 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 6 weeks. During that time Cora 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 $7,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Post-operative medication: $370 • Physiotherapy sessions: $560 • Travel and lodging for the family: $450 Glad we found this place. - Denise
