Palate reconstruction surgery for Jameson: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled palate reconstruction surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $4,200 of the cost.

Jameson was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Toronto Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,200 short.
my husband has been in and out of Toronto Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jameson struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Jameson won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $4,200 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430
• Post-operative medication: $280
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,340

Praying for you, Tammy. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 4 people at work.
good luck, Tammy. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Moscow.
Hang in there, Tammy. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Epe this morning. Love from Epe.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Toronto
