Help me pay for hip replacement surgery at Mandeville University Hospital

In July I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Mandeville University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $750, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $450 short. Doctors at Mandeville University Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $210 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
