A scheduled knee replacement surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $2,250 of the cost.

Riley was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Brampton Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,250 short.
my wife has been in and out of Brampton Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Riley struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Riley 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 $2,250 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Physiotherapy sessions: $590
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,430
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Jimma
