Laparoscopic cyst removal for Zoya: covering what insurance won't
Zoya needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Anne Hospital and the family is $850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Zoya was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in January. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since January. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Zoya struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Zoya 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 $850 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Post-operative medication: $80
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $635
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
