Surgery fund for Noémie: ACL reconstruction in Hamilton

Noémie was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in September. The surgeon at Hamilton Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,950, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,150 short. my mother has been in and out of Hamilton Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Noémie 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Noémie 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 $3,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,050 • Travel and lodging for the family: $510 • Post-operative medication: $250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Florian
