Rachel was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rachel struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 10 weeks. During that time Rachel won't be able to walk without help, 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 $3,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500 • Post-operative medication: $125 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $195 With deep gratitude, Meir
