Qian's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in October is out of reach without help covering $6,350 of the cost.

Qian was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Mississauga General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,350 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Mississauga General Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Qian 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 7 weeks. During that time Qian won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,600
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $520
• Post-operative medication: $450
• Physiotherapy sessions: $290
• Travel and lodging for the family: $240

take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
how is Qian doing now?
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Johannesburg.
You're not alone, Jie. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Ciudad de México this morning. Thinking of Mississauga.
Good luck, Jie. Wishing Qian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
