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

Sunita was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $400 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sunita struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Sunita won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $20 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
