Janet was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in September. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since September. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Janet struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Janet won't be able to drive, 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: $2,200 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $580 • Post-operative medication: $420 • Physiotherapy sessions: $420 • Travel and lodging for the family: $280 With deep gratitude, Declan
