Tyrone was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Kingston Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,250 short. my father has been in and out of Kingston Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tyrone struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 7 weeks. During that time Tyrone 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 $2,250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $155 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $845 Thanks for reading all this. - Clive

Updates from Clive

  1. Update from Kingston: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) I made the first payment toward pre-operative tests and imaging. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
