Help Ryan pay for emergency hernia repair at Saint Matthew Hospital

Ryan was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in March. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since March. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ryan struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Ryan won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,050 goes: • Post-operative medication: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 With deep gratitude, Gerald
