Trisha was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Trisha struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 5 weeks. During that time Trisha won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $355 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
