Kamini was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in April. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since April. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kamini struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 5 weeks. During that time Kamini won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,050 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $160 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $695 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lucky
