Help Shazia pay for septoplasty at Saint Joseph Hospital

Shazia was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in September. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $650 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since September. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shazia struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 7 weeks. During that time Shazia won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $250 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $165 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Glad we found this place. - Shahid
