Surgery fund for Elena: hip replacement surgery in Brampton

Elena was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Brampton Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,350 short. my mother has been in and out of Brampton Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elena struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 3 weeks. During that time Elena 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 $6,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $590 • Travel and lodging for the family: $310 Thanks for reading all this.
