Véronique was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in October. The surgeon at Strasbourg Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,750 short. my wife has been in and out of Strasbourg Regional Medical Center since October. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Véronique struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Véronique won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $4,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,550 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,550 • Physiotherapy sessions: $650 Thank you for reading my story. - Serge
