Spinal decompression surgery for Justine: covering what insurance won't

Justine was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in June. The surgeon at Reims Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of Reims Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Justine 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Justine 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 $1,200 goes: • Post-operative medication: $360 • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $510 Every share and every dollar helps.
