Océane was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in March. The surgeon at Lille Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,100 short.
my wife has been in and out of Lille Community Hospital since March. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Océane struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Océane won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $4,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,050
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $400
• Post-operative medication: $280
• Physiotherapy sessions: $530
• Travel and lodging for the family: $290
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Sébastien. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Badagry donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Rooting for you, Sébastien. Wishing Océane a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Lille!
hope it all works out, Sébastien. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Hauts-de-France. I'll ask around and let you know.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from San Fernando
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Pokhara so I could bring a meal.
