Roshan was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,100 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Roshan struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Roshan won't be able to drive, 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 $1,100 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $680 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
