Painfully waiting

I'm asking for you to support my friend and coworker. A small donation can help him receive a badly needed hernia surgery that he has been waiting for but cannot even get a consultation until June 2025. I could not imagine how he deals with the pain of having 2 hernias one of which has broken through the abdominal wall and has caused him to take leave from work. He has been laid up for over two months now without being able to walk or work which has also caused financial hardship. If I may add, he has called many hospitals and doctors to speed this process up so he can be pain-free and return to work. Shouldice Clinic located in Thornhill, ON has already approved him, but he cannot afford the nightly stay of $350 per night for 4 nights plus the cost of food, surgery is however covered by OHIP. Please help my friend receive this surgery so he can have a better quality of life and return to work sooner than next year.
