Courtney was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in March. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of London Community Hospital since March. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Courtney struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Courtney won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,350 • Travel and lodging for the family: $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,760 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Mateo

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($123 in total) I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
