Surgery fund for Hailey: a craniotomy in Memphis
A scheduled a craniotomy in November is out of reach without help covering $2,400 of the cost.

Hailey was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in September. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,400 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since September. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hailey struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Hailey won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $165
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,350
• Physiotherapy sessions: $535

So sorry you're going through this, Waylon. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Memphis.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hailey!
Travel and lodging for the family is $165 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Memphis.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. After 10 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Waylon. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
