Riley was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in September. The surgeon at Leicester Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,400 short.
my mother has been in and out of Leicester Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Riley struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Riley won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,400 goes:
โข Physiotherapy sessions: $570
โข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $610
โข Travel and lodging for the family: $220
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
