Ronnie was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ronnie struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Ronnie won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,150 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $500 I hope life is good to you. - Arnel
