Isla's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Isla was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Isla was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Isla struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 12 weeks. During that time Isla 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 $800 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $195
• Post-operative medication: $190
• Physiotherapy sessions: $415
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
