Rowan's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Rowan was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Bristol Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,750 short. my father has been in and out of Bristol Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rowan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Rowan won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $6,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $350 • Travel and lodging for the family: $420 Glad we found this place. - Claire
