Help Kelly pay for valve repair surgery at Saint Anne Hospital
Kelly needs valve repair surgery at Saint Anne Hospital and the family is $2,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Kelly was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in February. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,000 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since February. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Kelly 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 10 weeks. During that time Kelly 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 $2,000 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $610
• Travel and lodging for the family: $105
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,225
With deep gratitude,
Gabriel

Sending good thoughts, Gabriel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Gabriel. Get well soon. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
