In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Ottawa Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $7,000 short. Doctors at Ottawa Community Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $7,000 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 • Physiotherapy sessions: $740 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,550 Thanks for reading all this.

      Hope it all works out, Jordan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier

      • Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Pittsburgh but we're thinking of you. Love from Pittsburgh.
