After a benign brain tumor, Shakil was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Shakil was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,900 short.
my brother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Shakil 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Shakil 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 $5,900 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $350
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $300
• Physiotherapy sessions: $380
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,050
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,820
Thanks for being kind about this.
