Help Lipi pay for spinal decompression surgery at Saint Anne Hospital
After a herniated spinal disc, Lipi was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lipi was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,150 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Lipi struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Lipi won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $360
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Wishing Lipi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 29 people at work. Take care.
Keep going, Nazrul. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Thane.
