Elena was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in December. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,850, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,700 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since December. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elena 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 5 weeks. During that time Elena 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 $1,700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $740 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $570 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Cristian
