Vivian was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in February. The surgeon at London General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,700 short. my wife has been in and out of London General Hospital since February. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Vivian struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Vivian won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $2,700 goes: โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $340 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $260 I hope life is good to you. - Weston
