Zoya's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in November is out of reach without help covering $450 of the cost.

Zoya was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $640, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $640 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Zoya 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 8 weeks. During that time Zoya won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $450 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
• Physiotherapy sessions: $105
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270
Thanks for reading all this.
