Hamilton
Samantha was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in December. The surgeon at Hamilton Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $7,600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Hamilton Regional Medical Center since December. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Samantha 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Samantha 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 $7,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $370 Glad we found this place. - Declan
