Help Kylie pay for emergency hernia repair at Belfast Regional Medical Center

After a large ovarian cyst, Kylie was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Kylie was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Belfast Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,950 short. my wife has been in and out of Belfast Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kylie struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Kylie won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950 • Physiotherapy sessions: $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230 • Travel and lodging for the family: $135 • Post-operative medication: $205 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Silas
