Rina was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,250 short. my daughter has been in and out of London Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression 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, Rina struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 10 weeks. During that time Rina won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $3,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 • Physiotherapy sessions: $320 • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 With deep gratitude, Maliha
