Palate reconstruction surgery for Philippe: covering what insurance won't

Philippe was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in February. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since February. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Philippe 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 12 weeks. During that time Philippe won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Thank you so much.
