Roman's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Roman needs septoplasty at Toronto General Hospital and the family is $6,500 short of the hospital's estimate.

Roman was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Toronto General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,500 short.
my father has been in and out of Toronto General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Roman struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Roman 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 $6,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,050
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $660
• Post-operative medication: $250
• Physiotherapy sessions: $700
• Travel and lodging for the family: $440
With deep gratitude,
Gerald
