Hailey was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in September. The surgeon at Leeds Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,300 short. my sister has been in and out of Leeds Community Hospital since September. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hailey 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Hailey won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $3,300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460 • Physiotherapy sessions: $610 • Post-operative medication: $360 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650 • Travel and lodging for the family: $220 Every share and every dollar helps. - Scarlett

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hailey!

    • Scarlett A. WhitmoreOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. pre-operative tests and imaging is the big one at $460, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Esperanza M. Luna

    Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Leeds.

    • Ritu M. Kohli
