Savannah was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at San Francisco Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of San Francisco Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Savannah struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 12 weeks. During that time Savannah won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $5,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $280 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $480 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,050 • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Cooper

    so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
