Help me pay for septoplasty at Mississauga University Hospital
After a benign brain tumor, Charlotte was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Mississauga University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $2,250 short.
Doctors at Mississauga University Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer 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 lift anything heavy 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 $2,250 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $420
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $430
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mississauga.
