Jemima was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $560, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $560 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jemima 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 12 weeks. During that time Jemima won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $240 • Post-operative medication: $80 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Vincent
