Surgery fund for Peyton: emergency hernia repair in London

Peyton was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in October. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,400 short. my daughter has been in and out of London Community Hospital since October. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Peyton 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 3 weeks. During that time Peyton won't be able to walk without help, 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 $3,400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800 • Physiotherapy sessions: $390 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Hazel
