Help Danica pay for knee replacement surgery at Saint Anne Hospital

After an aortic valve defect, Danica was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Danica was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in April. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since April. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Danica struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 8 weeks. During that time Danica won't be able to walk without help, 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 $950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $500 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $300 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
