After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Yana was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Yana was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in September. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,400 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since September. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yana struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Yana won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,400 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $560 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $620 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
