What's already covered and what's the $7,500 for?
Travel and lodging for the family is $240 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope things get better soon, Natalie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
Do you have the hospital estimate you could share with the moderators?
I sent the hospital estimate in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong, Natalie. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Cairo.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Wollongong.
Wishing you the best, Natalie. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
You're not alone, Natalie. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
