Levi was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in February. The surgeon at London University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,450 short. my brother has been in and out of London University Hospital since February. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Levi struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Levi won't be able to drive, 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 $2,450 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 • Physiotherapy sessions: $590 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,720 Thanks for being kind about this.
