Denise was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $7,550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Denise struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Denise won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $7,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,050 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510 • Post-operative medication: $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $590 • Travel and lodging for the family: $370 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
