Surgery fund for Sita: a craniotomy in Mississauga
A scheduled a craniotomy in October is out of reach without help covering $8,850 of the cost.

In July I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Mississauga University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $8,850 short.
Doctors at Mississauga University Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $8,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,500
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,650
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570
• Post-operative medication: $185
• Physiotherapy sessions: $660
• Travel and lodging for the family: $285
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you, Sita. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
Sending strength, Sita. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
shared it with a few friends. After 6 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Los Angeles.
Sending good thoughts, Sita. Get well soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending love, Sita. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
