Help me pay for knee replacement surgery at Toronto University Hospital

A scheduled knee replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $5,600 of the cost.

In August I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Toronto University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,600 short. Doctors at Toronto University Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,500 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $5,600 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,550 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320 If you're reading this, thank you. - Sachin
