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

Leonardo was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. 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 $3,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,350 short.
my husband has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Leonardo struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 7 weeks. During that time Leonardo won't be able to walk without help, 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 $2,350 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $330
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,700
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
