Vikas's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Vikas was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Sherbrooke General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,050 short. my brother has been in and out of Sherbrooke General Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Vikas struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Vikas 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 $3,050 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $670 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,840 With deep gratitude, Chhaya
