Okta was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $750 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Okta struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 8 weeks. During that time Okta won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $750 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $270 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Sari
