Help me pay for valve repair surgery at Saint Matthew Hospital

In August I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,150 short. Doctors at Saint Matthew Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $5,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510 • Post-operative medication: $195 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $225 Thanks for reading all this.
