Physiotherapy Costs for a Stroke

Donation protected
I am an 52 year old IT tech from Edmonton, Alberta, that can no longer work due to a medical condition. I have what is known as an A to G gene mutation in my DNA that causes blood clots in my system. I had a mild Stroke on October 3, 2014. After waiting for an MRI they discovered not only a stroke but extensive sholder issues on my right side, including partial paralysis. I have started Physiotherapy, but Alberta Health Services only allows for 7 sessions. The rest I must cover myself. Being on disability payments I cannot afford the $65.00 per session needed for the rest of the sessions. My physiotherapist and doctors all agree that I should be in therapy twice a week for at least 6 months. My therapist informs me that after 6 months if there is no improvement, that my paralysis may be permanent.
      I would really appreciate any help at all, I have 2 granddaughters, that I would love to be able to enjoy life with while I still have a little functionality left.
     My goal is 8 times a month for 6 months at $65.00 each is $3120.00 minus the 7 sessions suppled by AHS $455.00, for a total of  $2665.00
     And please even if you do not donate, please leave a comment so I may forward them to AHS to let them know that this is not enough coverage for this type of injury, if we get enough signatures maybe we can change things for the better.
