Robert was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,000 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Robert struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Robert won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $2,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,400 • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
