Nolan's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Nolan needs spinal decompression surgery at Toronto University Hospital and the family is $6,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

Nolan was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in March. The surgeon at Toronto University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,100 short.
my father has been in and out of Toronto University Hospital since March. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nolan struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 10 weeks. During that time Nolan 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 $6,100 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,600
• Physiotherapy sessions: $770
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,100
• Travel and lodging for the family: $260
Thanks for reading all this.
